Marlon Sloan If SCHOOL is a sea of wisdom then I’m drowning. Phillip Smith I can’t please everybody so I’ll just please myself. 48 Johnny Stacy It’s not the school, it’s the principle of the thing. Cathy Starnes Walk with faith in your heart and you’ll never walk alone. Stephen Taylor I can, I will, and I do. Teresa Taylor To love is good, but to be loved is better. Johnny Tipton If you fail at first, try for second base. Gennell Townsend “Speech is silver, silence is gold.” Scott County Public Library GATE CITY, VIRGINIA Patricia Wallen I can live without poetry, music, walking; but who in the world can live without talking. Don Wilson Be young, be foolish, but just have a good time being it. A love that lasts forever: A friendship naught can sever; A courage never failing, Though evil seems prevailing; And joyous, radiant living, Made glorious by its giving; A faith strong and enduring, Unworthy thoughts obscuring; And eyes for seeing beauty In work, in play, in duty; Life ever onward flowing And more abundant growing; Love, courage, faith, and sweetness To make up life’s completeness.

It is the foundation on which you will build the remainder of your life. For this reason be sure that yours is strong and solid. Principal Mr. Oran Blackburn Assistant Principal It has been a pleasure to work with the faculty and students of Rye Cove High School these past 6 years. I wish them the very best of luck and continued success in the future. To the Seniors I wish a future filled with much health and happiness as you gradu- ate from high school and enter a fast-paced society that will certainly be a challenge to any responsible citizen. Insight alone cannot provide a universal cure for life’s problems. To solve these problems they must be treated as maladaptive behaviors, each learned through past experience and which must be likewise modified by learning to perform more adaptive be- haviors.
