Our Principal Speaks . . . MR. CECIL G. LAYMAN, JR., Principal To the student body: May I take this opportunity to expound briefly upon several significant factors in the first year history of Riverheads High School. I commend all students and teachers for the manner in which you became a part of the school and the way in which you have cooperated and worked to mal e this a memorable year. The display of enthusiasm and loyalty has made me proud to be your first principal. Many of you have illustrated your attitude and a desire for higher learning and academic achievement. There is a respect toward learning being developed that should be a challenge to all underclassmen and future students. This is a part of a nationwide trend that has resulted in an improved attitude toward school, fellow students and teachers. You are developing a harmony and a school atmosphere that is wholesome, a con¬ geniality and feeling of service that will enrich the lives of those around you. It is significant, too, that you have been able to produce this, the first volume of the “Colosseum.” This yearbook will become a part of Riverheads High School history that you can be proud of in years to come. A precedence is being established in this, the first year at Riverheads. In involves each of you, for each of you is a part of this precedent. You have an obligation to yourself and to your fellow students to make every moment and every action count. Only in this way can you help make Riverheads an outstanding school, one in which you can be justly proud. Cecil G. Layman, Jr., Principal 8
