Do You Anow ee The Senior Class of 1969 proudly dedicates our year- book, the Pioneer, to a man unafraid to stand for right, even though he may stand alone. Dedicated to making young people better citizens, he presents himself as a living example of the love, patience, and understanding human beings must have for one another. We will long remember the man who freely gave of histime yet never asked for anything in return; the gentle voiced, steady, loyal friend ...

AWAY I cannot say, and I will not say That he is dead. He is just away! With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand, He has wandered into an unknown land. And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since he lingers there. . Mild and gentle, as he was brave. When the sweetest love of his life he gave To simple things; the violets grew Pure as the eyes they were likened to . Think of him still as the same, I say; He is not dead - he is just - away!

In the years ahead when these faces and places are only memories, we will cherish these pages. Age can only make them more precious. My hope is that for a brief instant you can re- capture the fun, friends, and folly embedded here. No matter how far you venture in time or where you go on the trails of this world, you may take a small part of us and our beloved ‘‘Alma Mater’’ with you, I would like to say a special ‘‘Thank You’’ to the people who helped bring this annual into being: to Nancy who worked so hard and accomplished so much; to Emily who was a wonderful business manager; to Ann and Linda for typing and proofreading; to Nickie for being so helpful with the photographer; to Edna, Jeannie, Joretta, Dennis, and Gary for getting so many ads; to Janice and Polly for all that terrific artwork; to Mrs. Hartley for taking her time and patience to make those pictures that a photographer could never have gotten; to the student body and faculty for their constant co-operation and enthusiasm; but most of all a very special ‘‘Thank You’’ toMrs, Kelley, my advisor and sponsor, Her advice, encouragement, and thoughtful understanding, have been my mainstay during the past year. I only hope that she and all of you are proud of this annual. As you hold this 1969 Pioneer in your hands, remember it is a symbol of a year, a book of people and events, If we have caused asmile or atear, or revived but one memory, then we’ve accomplished everything we have worked for, And now, as your school year comes to an end and the steps you take day by day lead from experiences to memories, always remember that memories are the things dreams are made of and hopes are built upon, I hope that each one of you will find that ‘‘golden trail’’ for your future lives.” Your Editor, JOYCE POWELL ADVERTISERS wet + HARMONY GROVE BAPTIST CHURCH 7 ae Mew, “to Beg Sy “rite ul a ay oe af ate Ba For Iam not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth...
