Administration To the Class of ' 48 I have no patience for those people who describe the world as cold, hard and ruthless; and say that to succeed one must be equally so. This is the world most commonly pictured to seniors as they get out from school, but it is a misrepresentation. Ture, life may appear so to some, but certainly not to all. How cold, how hard, how ruthless the world is depends on the outlook and attitudes an individual developes and the life he builds for himself. A world of warmth, happiness, and success awaits those who would find it. To find it, one must plan. He must choose a vocation to his liking and to which he is fitted, give religion a place in his life, serve his community and nation, be optimistic, choose friends and companions whom he knows are seeking the same things in life. Begin now to plan your life so that you will find the warmth happiness and success that exists in this world. It is not a cold and hard world unless you make it so. Mr. Edgar Miller Principal Mr. Ted Houchin Trustee

Dedication • We, the graduating class of 1948, have dedicated our edition of the Merrillvue to Mr. Frank G. Pruitt, who has given his untiring patience and friendship toward us, not only during the production of this volume, but throughout all our high school years. Although we are leaving this year, we are not leaving Mr. Pruitt behind, for how could we? How could we forget our friend? How could we forget any true friend? He is a friend, not only to us seniors, but to the whole student body. If ever a need should arise, such as a situation with which we are unable to cope, we call on our Mr. Pruitt. Perhaps he doesn ' t tell us the answer, but he does give us a clue as to what is right and what is wrong. That is important! We ' ll never forget his boyish smile, his quick mind but his slow answers, his laugh as we ask him for the latest gossip, his willingness to cooperate on the annual, his ever ready source of news about any of us and ever so many other small, but important, items. New just tell us how we could ever forget him. It ' s impossible! Mr. Pruitt, please don ' t ever change! Let us come back in a few years and find you as you are now. For you see, we love you just the way you are. Mr. Frank G. Pruitt
