To the woman behind the scenes whose tireless efforts have greatly contributed to the betterment of the school, we humbly give our thanks. Her attention has been focused primarily on the home economics program; however, every student has bene¬ fited from her endeavors. Directing the Miss. P.H. S. contest, sponsoring the annual fashion show, and keeping the first aid room immaculate are just a few of the activities she does that often go by unnoticed. For the unselfish attitude exhibited in these pursuits, the year¬ book staff dedicates this seventh edition of the Dragonian to Mrs. Sallie Horton. Mrs. Horton gives Barbara ' s dress a close inspection while Emily watches. Patsy gets helpful advice on how to walk, turn, and bow from Mrs. Horton during rehearsals for the Miss P,H,S, contest. 5

Debut Any school is full of many varied beginnings. To the first grader, it is the beginning of twelve wonderful years of learning and making friends. To the ninth grader, it is the beginning of four years that will be the richest and the fullest years of his life.

They instilled in us high ideals MR. H. G. JOHNSTON The annual staff, in behalf of our school, gratefully reserves this space to express its heartfelt appreciation to Mrs. J,S. Waters, Her retirement from our midst was a sad announcement at our 1965 commencement. Shortly after the passing of her husband, our former Chatham County Superintendent of Schools, she moved to Texas to be near their daughter. This is the first year that we can remember when she was not here to greet a section of first-graders on opening day. Children whom she taught considered it a coveted honor to be in Mrs. Waters ' room. Truly she is a most professional and dedicated teacher whose class room inspired her students and charmed her visitors. In recognition of his many years of teaching voca¬ tional agriculture at Pittsboro High School, the 1966 annual staff pays honorable tribute to Mr. H. G. Johnston. His retirement in 1965 shocked and saddened the entire school. Throughout his twenty-eight years of teaching here, he and his boys have been the recipients of many county, district, state, and national honors. His goal has been to develop every skill his boys could muster. His honors in and contributions to his church and com¬ munity cannot be enumerated. To us he is a man who loves life, and who likes to make all living things keep growing and improving. His landscaping of the school grounds and his planting of the rose garden stand as a living memorial to him for us and for future generations. MRS. J. S. WATERS 6
