It is a long river and a deep one. To those who have clung to its banks, it has meant pleasure, friends, livelihood, a bond with the rest of the world -yet at times ia rod of discipline, for the Neuse is a thing! of moods and will punish any act of irreverence. When, however, one follows the code of the river, when one recognizes its strength, he is richly rewarded! How like this river is New Bern High School! How deep and strong and wide is the channel of its changing curriculum. How swift and sure does retribution come for violation of its law. How turbulent with inspiration and knowledge does its stream of youth surge into the ocean of the world, and how enriching to humanity the refreshment that it brings!
