Neelyville High School - Tiger Yearbook (Neelyville, MO)

SUPERINTENDENT S MESSAGE In years to come this pictorial history will serve as a reminder of the many happy school days and events enjoyed by you and your classmates. It will also serve to remind you of the time when you had the opportunity to prepare for a full and useful life. Youth is a fit time to absorb information; maturity is a fit time to use it. Too often, however, we neglect the opportunity afforded in youth, then spend the later years regretting that this favorable junction of circumstance was neglected. The world is full of opportunity. The people who have succeeded had no better chance than you. They succeeded because they saw opportunity, seized it, and hung on to it. Opportunity is the chance to do something, to get something, to achieve some- thing, to be somebody of value in the world. Meet opportunity when it comes toward you. If you wait until it passes, you will never catch it. My congratulations to Miss Rogers and the Journalism Class for an exception- ally fine yearbook. J. L. Hillis
