GREETINGS As usual itis a sincere pleasure for me to greet you in the edition of the school annual, and to share in the reminis- cences of your high school d You ist consider yourselves fortunate to have reached this level of achievement in your lives since some two hun- dred and fifty students who entered Appling High School with you in 1960 are no longer counted among your ranks. Yet, I challenge all of you who remain to prepare yourselves to en- ter the doors of opportunity now opened to you and leave those doors confidentially prepared as a credit to yourselves, your school, your state, and to your nation. I specifically encourage those of you who are capable and interested to pursue careers in medicine and dentistry, and then intently reflect upon filling in the vast vaccum that is being created in this section of Georgia. We must attempt in some way to relieve this condition where there is a scarcity or inadequate number of prepared people in the medical pro- fession to serve over forty thousand people. The challenge is great and the rewards are even greater. This age in which you now live demands of you the highest principles and ideals that you have learned in school and church, Hence, when the days of reflection are upon you, it may be recalled, I was challenged, I accepted, and now I serve my fellowmen in humility, in dignity, and in honor. No greater reward can I ever receive than to be able to say that I served my people well.” As the years advance, and as you review the 1965 edition of THE WILDCAT the faculty and I trust that you will have realized some of your dreams, and that all of you will be able to identify each of your classmates as responsible contributing members to society rather than liabilities, Harry B, Thompson
