In Memor SANDRA HOPKINS MIKE HARRINGTON When life shall end, no man can say. For some, it comes after a long, fruitful life: but for others it occurs after they have enjoyed only a short time on earth. Why life ends so abruptly for some, we cannot understand yet. Though Mike's life ended suddenly, after he had been with us for a scant seventeen years, he filled these years with rich experiences and an abundance of friends who will remember ,him throughout the years. It may seem that Mike left us untimely, but he will never again be endangered. He now finds comfort in his place in Heaven. SANDRA HOPKINS Through the course of history, certain individ- uals come into existence who show exceptional merit in the eyes of those around them. Sandra was one of those individuals. No kinder or sweeter person was ever known by those who knew and loved her. With an intense and enduring effort, she over- came a handicap, that to others, would have proven to be a defeat in life. For her, each day brought forth a new experience and she looked forward to its unfolding. She did not take life for granted. but looked at it as it should be looked at--each event a rich and rewarding experience. Though she was unable to be with us in the classroom physically, spiritually she was a part of all the student body and faculty. For Sandra, life might have been considered to be full of sorrow and heartbreaksg but Sandra did not feel this way. She now enjoys a life that many of us would long to live, for now we are confident Sandra is living in everlasting peace with her Heavenly Father. As the years pass, we at Mineral Wells High School, will never forget her because she meant so much to us. MIKE HARRINGTON

.aw , .f D. W. MCBRIDE, Principal BILL SWEET, Assistant Principal The 1966-67 BURRO is special in many ways, not the least of which is this year's joint dedication. Rarely is a school so fortunate as to have two such fine persons whose closely associated work in the adminisuration of our school has contributed so much to the lives of students and faculty alike. Dedicated men--Men with a purpose. These words, in a small way, are indicative of Mr. Mc- Bride and Mr. Sweet. Each of these men regards every student as an individual with potentialg and each, with unfailing courtesy, takes time to help the student realize and develop that potential. It is in this endeavor, as in all other areas under their guidance and influence, that these men are re- spected in their positions of leadership. Through our association with these two, men, our insight has been deepened, our knowledge in- creased, and our sincere respect for wisdom-at-work has been magnified. They will long remain vivid in our memory. In their approach to students, their very natures reflect what each seems to say: Choose wisely in your decisions which will continue throughout your lives. Choose wisely, for each will help fashion your most priceless possession--your character. It is with great pride that we dedicate the 1966-67 BURRO to Mr. D. W. McBride and Mr. Bill Sweet! Each sets a shining example for others to follow.
