DEDICATION Dear Mrs. Perkins We cannot begin to express our deep appreciation for the help and advice you have given us these past four years. Your guidance has helped our class achieve goals which seemed beyond our reach. Because as our sponsor, teacher, and friend you have given us new respect for NHS, we hereby dedicate the 1961 TIGER to you.

BOARD OF EDUCATION Superintendent’s Message Religion, morality, and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of man- kind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged. These were not casual words. The philosophical ground in which the American dream had its roots held the belief that man was a creature capable of infinite improvement through the development of his intelligence. We, of Neelyville High School, hope to achieve this worthy goal by training the minds of all who enter our doors with a desire in mind to improve his intellect. This book has its place in the learning process -- a pictorial momento of others who, like yourself, had that desire. W. I. Green MILDRED VANDOVER Elementary Principal It gives me great pleasure to watch you boys and girls grow, to see your progress in school and then to see you attain success in life. May you make the most of the many op- portunities that will come to each of you. JOSEPH L. HILLIS. Principal It is said that a hero of the long ago wept be- cause there were no more worlds to conquer. How little he knew of life as it really is. Never will it be true that there is nothing more to be done, that everything has been accomplished, that there is no more room for future conquest. Your parents and the patrons of this commun- ity have given you the opportunity to attend school until you receive your diplomas. You have been given every possible chance to make good. The world is full of wonderful opportunities and if you use your eyes, your ears, and your in- telligence you cannot help but find something to do and way to make this world a better place to live.

But it was well worth it all to see new curtains on the stage. All finished — time to relax, have a coke, and have water fights.

At the time it probably seems to you that each event is the most im- portant thing in your life.....a matter of life and death that you win the beauty contest, we win the ball game, you make the Beta Club, to be Student Council President, or that your class be crowned Carnival Royalty. With this in mind we are trying to capture for you, in pictures and verse, the high-lights of this year for us, the year-1961. Autographs Autographs H ir
