WILLIAM ETHERIDGE Principal Dear Alumni: I could write at length about our purposes, our curriculum, our activities, and our achievements, but such a letter is not necessary. This book has been produced by conscientious, in- telligent students, and conscientious, intelligent students pos- sess educational values that closely parallel those of teachers. Consequently, I am certain that the pictures in this book will reflect the Oscar Smith High School aspects o-f which the faculty and l are most proud. Please know that you helped to establish the traditions. Also realize that you had a part in bringing about the changes that are a part of progress. Traditions and changes in schools are the results of student traits, needs, likes, and interestsg some may be eternal, and some may be compara- tively brief. As you study this report of student life at Oscar Smith High School in l96l-62, may you enjoy the old memories that will be stirred, may you find interest in the innovations since you left school, and may you feel pride in the Oscar Smith High School of your day and that of today. Yours sincerely,

Personnel of the office stat? are responsible for the handling of all money, maintenance of records, correspondence, et cetera. The oitice staff performs many tasks that most students never know about, but, without the accomplished tasks, the school's program would be incomplete and inefticient. Mrs. Moore, one of the office clerks, spends much of her time writing letters for Mr. Etheridge and Mr. Lewis. Ist. ROW - J. Lanktord, D. Thomas, G. Waters, and C. Matthews. 2nd. ROW - R. Panneil, L.
