Mr. J. B. M. Carter Superintendent Mrs. John Seaman, Mr. Orville Karicofe, Mr. J. B. M. Carter, Mr. Graham Heath, the late Mr. J. S. Carter. 18 Nelson County School Board in session. Nelson County is priviledged in having such a capable leader as Superintendent of Schools, Mr. J. B. M. Carter. Although an extremely busy person as head of the Nelson County Educational system, Mr. Carter finds time to give special attention to each of his schools. Mr. Carter came to us from Fluvanna in the fall of 1954. Although he has been with us a relatively short time, he has gained the profound admiration of students and teachers throughout the county. At all times he is more than willing to cooperate with our ad¬ ministration in providing us with a thorough and excellent education. He is truly an edu¬ cator with the interest of our youth foremost in his thoughts. To him, we are deeply indebted! Mrs. June Harris - Stenographer

Mr. W. L. Kirby, Jr., Principal Five years ago William L. Kirby, Jr. assumed the arduous task of welding the students of four dis¬ trict high schools into a harmonous consolidated unit. In spite of the recognized difficulty of such an under¬ taking, he approached the task with confidence born of inner resources of wisdom and experience. In order to amalgamate the students from the several districts, he chose to include in every class students from each of these divisions - thus promoting a desirable one¬ ness in each group. This sense of unity has done much to assure in the future a desirable spirit of co¬ operation among the citizens of the county. The duties of the principal are not limited to administrative affairs only, and in many areas Mr. Kirby has exhibited outstanding capability showing an active interest and skill in coaching, in dramatic production, and in classroom teaching. No school activity fails to merit his interested support. For these qualities of superior leadership and simple friendship, the staff of this yearbook take pride in paying tribute to our principal, our teacher, and our friend - Mr. William A. Kirby, Jr. Mrs. Frances Ponton - indispensable to the smooth functioning of Nelson County High School. 20
