THE KINDEST MAN DEDICATION “The kindest man, The best-condition’d and unwearied spirit In doing courtesies.” ' Mr. Sublett, senior advisor and chemistry teacher, has gained, by his enduring patience and understanding, the love and respect of all associated with him. In his own unique way, he makes everyone acquainted with him keenly aware of his interest in them. Each of his students has become a part of him, and he, a part of each student. It would be impossible to mention all of this superlative teach- er’s contributions to Petersburg High School, but our dedication would not be complete without recognizing some of the more outstanding ones. There are few vocations more important than the training of tomorrow’s citizens. Mr. Sublett’s value in this field is recognized. Through his classes and the supervision of the science club, he has made an unending effort to impart to his students his knowledge of chemistry and his enthusiasm for learning. Well aware of the advancement of science in our times and the ever-changing educational requirements for the scientists of the future, Mr. Sublett is taking a course in space technology at Richard Bland College. In reference to this he stated, “You can never know something so thoroughly that it isn’t necessary to stop and think what you’re doing.” Mr. Sublett has made Bedford County and Goose Creek famous to his pupils. This is his home, and he has endeared it to all. Per- haps his favorite form of relaxation would be to get away from the “rank smelling pew” of the chemistry lab, buy a “moon pie and a big orange”, and watch the cows of Bedford grazing contentedly. In addition to his other activities, he is also advisor for the senior class. For this he has the gratitude of the seniors. Never too busy to talk with a student, he gives any problem, large or small, his complete attention. He has shown an unfaltering faith in youth, and perhaps it is for this that he is best loved. With gratitude and affection the 1964 MISSILE staff is proud to dedicate this edition of the MISSILE to a true friend, teacher, and gentleman. iMerchant of Venice — Shakespeare 8

OUR FAVORITE HILLBILLY Caught day-dreaming while selling football tick- ets, Mr. Sublett wonders if the “catfish are biting on Goose Creek”. “What is this in my crystal ball?” demands Mr. Sublett. “Where is the door of the dark room?” Mr. Sublett and Mike Harrison seem to be working hard to get things ready for the NASA assembly. Mr. Sublett hands back one of those Chemistry I “lulu’s” that everyone was dreading. 10
