Text from Pages 1 - 64 of the 1963 volume:

Our Orincipafs OlCessape Sidney B. Harvey Congratulations to the Rogahi Staff, their sponsor, Mr. Blaine Worrell, and to all who have made this fine yearbook possible for the Rocky Gap High School. I should like to commend you for your efficiency, enthusiasm, spirit of unity, and the completeness of your publication. As seniors, you must understand and recognize the great challenge and responsibility for intelligent leadership which confronts each of you. Work well done is to be appreciated. Give to the world your best and you will be rewarded accordingly. Sincerely, Sidney B. Harvey 2 Dedication It is with deep sincerity that we, the Annual Staff, dedicate this edition of the Rogahi to one who is most sincere and understanding; whose gentleness of manner is unvarying and one who has helped to inspire each of us onward to higher goals. We have much admiration for one whose high standards of values, a never-ending devotion to the school, and a sense of humor that has never failed. We can only say, thank-you, as we dedicate our nineteen sixty-three yearbook, the Rogahi, to Mr. Blaine Worrell. i 3 Mrs. Rosa Gordon Mr. William Estep Mrs. Mabel Pruett Mr. Luther Huffman 4 Judy Stowers C.
