Students enter by the front door in pursuit of knowledge. As the seasons come and go, our campus reacts favorably from the Gold of autumn to the green of spring. To preserve the record of this year, we have tried to capture here the important happenings of 1966 - 67 . Editor--Margie Ann Brown Business Manager--Debbie Pisar- sky Adviser--Mrs. Everett Trusch The Powers That Be Mr. Forrest and Mr. Brown Often seen strolling down the hall together, Mr. Forrest and Mr. Brown make a fine working pair when it comes to administrative problems and the solving of them. Always willing to stop and lend a helping hand to students and teachers, these two are just tops. Mr. D. D. Forrest, Division Su¬ perintendent. He is ever working hard to improve the educational system of Mathews County. Re¬ spected and admired for his knowledge, he has given years of unselfish service to the youth of our county. He sets high goals and obtains the best. Mr. H. K. Brown, Principal There are no words to describe our hard working principal. He has a genuine interest in M.H.S. and all the people in it. It is amazing how he finds time to deal so competently with all phases of school life. 9 The Office Is a Busy Spot Mr. Brown chats with his very efficient secretary, Mrs. R. H. Callis, affectionately called Marty and de¬ clared by the Boss to be my good right arm. It just doesn’t happen that things run well in the school office. It is the result of careful planning and Oh! what a busy place. Moments of re¬ laxation are few and far between. Students and visitors are cordially welcomed here. A feeling of friend¬ liness is conveyed. This office is the hub of our school. In it are all kinds of records and files, all types of school supplies and even the mail is sorted here. There is plenty of ac¬ tivity without which our school could not function. RIGHT: From signing one day excuses and early dismissal slips, to the teaching of higher Math, Mr. Tatterson is a busy man. 3 The Faculty— Mrs. M. B. Brown B.S.

She has given unselfishly of her time and her talents for the past thirty-one years. Mrs. Brown has greatly influenced the lives of her pupils. A dedicated teacher, she will be greatly missed.
