The Senior Class of 1947 herewith presents a personal diary of our high school year, hoping that in the future you will read and recall gay, carefree days flavored with sadness and spiced with humor. It is our sincere desire that each of you feels that this book is your own record and that somewhere within these pages you will find a corner which means more to you than to anyone else. ( 5 )

We Dedicate this, our story of a year at Mathews, to one we feel, is one of the major characters in this story. From the time we began our year and have to make our schedules, until the day we form the academic procession to receive our diplo¬ mas, his help and influence are deeply felt. Knowing “Mr. Gibbs” is a privilege and a pleasure. To those who have been associated with him have come the true appreciation and respect of his efficient performance of the many duties which are his. We feel that we know him not only as the principal and advisor, but as a person. Many and vivid are our memories of him in many characteristic situations. A story of a year at Mathews would be incomplete without the benefit and influence of such a character. It it with the deepest feeling of admiration, respect and ap¬ preciation that we dedicate this, our first volume of The Clipper to our own Mr. C. G. Gibbs. ■

EVERLASTING “The Pride of Every HIGH SCHOOL Boy and Girl” FRIENDSHIPS Tucked away in the tiny peninsular county of Mathews on route 198 the visitor and the citizen alike will note the spacious, attractive campus and friendly buildings that is our own Mathews High School—the pride of every Mathews hoy and girl. Within its walls young citizens are seek¬ ing to uphold the traditions of the Mother State—old Virginia. The school itself is trying to turn out more and better citizens for the County, State and Nation. Through four years of dynamic living, we have grown together, united by bonds of common interest and ambitions. There have been many incidents that will live long in our memories. Each of us has found friendships, which through high school life have grown deeper and more meaningful, therefore—WE SENSE MINGLED FEELINGS OF JOY AND SORROW IN MEMORIES OF “IT’S MATHEWS HIGH SCHOOL THAT WE NOW CHEER-.” ( 6 )
