To Our Beloved Principal MR. W. L. KIRBY, JR. The 1956 Thos. Nelson, Jr. is dedicated to a man of vision, a man of accomplishment, wise in vision, diligent in duty. He has endeared himself to the heart of Nelson County High School students both for what he has done and for what he is. His dignity and straight forward sincerity demand the respect of everyone who meets him. His true friendliness has warmed our hearts. His gracious courtesy has made our principal also our friend, Mr. William L. Kirby, Jr.

FOREWORD This is a story about us -- 600 boys and girls who have come from the four corners of our county to go to school at Nelson County High. It’s the story in picture of how we live both at work and at play. As time passes we believe that this volume will become more and more valuable to you and will serve its purpose in keeping fresh in mind events which took place during your carefree happy days at N.C.H. S. It is the sincere hope of each member of the staff and the sponsors that this, the first volume of Thos. Nelson, Jr., will perserve for you all of those fond memories of the session 1955-56.
