OUTSTANDING “CLIPPERS” OF TOMORROW Mathews, though the third smallest county in the State, has done her part in contributing better citizens and more competent leaders. From within her tiny hounds examples of eminence in all phases of leadership have sprung. Mathews is a progressive county and is today contributing much to our state and nation. Just as the Clipper was a leader among ships so Mathews students will he leaders among men. So as we have learned to admire the Clip¬ per ship may men learn to admire us—little “clippers” today hut as leaders tomorrow. May Mathews become a mother of future leaders by developing within her st udent population excellence in the four phases of leadership—MENTAL, MORAL, PHYSICAL and SOCIAL. ( 8 )
