Two ideas that will serve to help us in our working together are respect for every individual and cooperation for the common good. May this year see us all working for a greater realization of these aims. WALTER G. SOMERVILLE, JR. Principal MISS LORENA AVERETT Peace College A.B., Woman's College U.N.C.
