Mr. James W. Neilly (at right) with Sir Oliver Franks, British Ambassador, (left) and former President Harry S. Truman (second from left) in a group of ex- change teachers and other education personnel. (Du i X.cJia+iCfe, SpecJ i v Saint Augustine once said that the world is a great book, of which they who never sur from home read only a page. 1 have visited many countries in Europe before coming to the United States ot America and the more places I travel to and the more people 1 come into contact with, the more I agree with him. It has been a rich experience for me to come to Petersburg to teach, and perhaps the greatest benefit derived from my year here has been the op- portunity 1 have been afforded to live among the West Virginians and oi serve them in their every-day walks of life. Boys and girls here can indeed count themselves fortunate that they are citizens of this great and prosperous democratic nation, which provides such excellent opportunities for every individual, but they can count them- selves doubly fortunate in being able to live among these fresh green hills of West Virginia. Petersburg High School students can Ik truly thankful in having for their Headmaster, such a man of high principles and stexling character as Mr. Tom Sites, and in having a faculty who conscientiously strive to impart to them not only the academic side of education, but also to preparing them to take their places in society. When 1 return to my own country I shall take back with me not only ideas gleaned from your educational system which will help to enrich our educational system in Northern Ireland, but also cherished memories of friendships made in Grant County. In conclusion I should like to state that I think those who are respon- sible for the education here in Grant County must have similar ideas to those expressed bv Kossuth, It is on the sound education of the people that the security and destiny of every nation rests.” JAMES W. NEILLY Two The 1953 Petro-Schola
