Dew TO OUR HEARTS...” SV he 7967 KOSPH Thirteenth Edition Published By SENIOR CLASS MEMBERS of ROCK SPRINGS HIGH Denver, North Carolina In memory of STANLEY JACKSON KILLMAN (April 2, 1943 - September 3, 1959) Member of Senior Class of 1961 ALL HAIL! ALMA MATER LTS COLORS : 8 co 4 a ee igo et BLACK AND GOLD In this the thirteenth volume of The Rosphian, our aim is to keep your mind alive with recollections of friends and activities of our Alma Mater;and to make you realize its magnificent meaning in your life. May our earnest aims be ful- filled. Within these pages... Introduction Dedication Administration High School Classes Elementary Classes Features Athletics Activities Advertisements Snapshots Senior Class Directory WE'LL SET OUR GOAL AND THERE WE’LL TAKE A STAND TO PUT OLD ROCK SPRINGS ON THE TOP, TOP, TOP; WE’LL DO THIS AND WE’LL NEVER STOP, STOP, STOP. SO FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT ALL THE TIME; AND SOON THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD WILL QUICKLY FIND WE’LL STAND FOR WORK, PLAY, FUN, PEP; ZIP-BOOM-BAH! ZIP-BOOM-BAH! WE GRATEFULLY DEDICATE ... To you, the women who have labored daily and faithfully that we might have our noon-hour food, we are very grateful. If, at times we were noisy, rude or unthankful, it was because we were young, inexperienced and lacked understanding. We are now seniors and have put away some of our childish ways; and we want to recognize your hands in our daily provision. Our having eaten together in the school cafeteria not only diminished our physical hunger, but in- creased our opportunity for friendship and fellowship. We have been built up not only in physical vigor but by the bestowment of love in our hearts. To the Cafeteria Staff to whom we dedicate The Rosphian of 1961, may manna to your body and soul be given. 4 i 1 4 f i PRINCIPAL 4. Charles N, Clark SCHOOL BOARD : Henry C.
