DEDICATION This is the tenth anniversary of Mercer High School. In these ten years we have seen an in- crease in our student body, new subjects added to our curriculum, and new rooms added to the building itself. We are justly proud of our school’s progress these past ten years, and it is with pride that we are now ready to become graduates of Mercer High. As we face the future, we think of our education as a tree. From the trunk there are many branches representing the various ways we now shall go. However, just as the most important part of a tree is composed of its roots, so too the most important part of our education is composed of the roots of knowledge. These roots are formed by the basic fundamentals of the three R’s, reading, ‘riting, and ‘rithmetic; by the development of a desire to learn; and by the formation of study and work habits which have carried us through our high school days and will carry us through the days of our future, whatever that future may bring. Our roots had their beginnings in Cornishville, Fairview, McAfee, Rose Hill, Salvisa, and Shakertown. There they were nourished by patient and dedicated teachers who prepared us for high school work, who taught us to think, and who struggled unceasingly to instill in us a desire for, and an appreciation of, knowledge. Fairview is no more. Perhaps for that very reason those of us who spent our first years there remember Fairview and its teachers with particular nostalgia, just as the other members of our class remember their respective schools and teachers. Thus it is with deep appreciation from grateful hearts that we dedicate this year’s HIGHLANDER to our elementary school teachers.
