From The Principal’s Desk We live in a time of accelerating rates of change in the amount of knowledge, in educational opportunities, in communication among people and nations, in scientific discovery and technology and in the purposes and motivations that influence our behavior. We here at Shady Spring High School have attempted to develop ways which will help a student to live in such a time, to learn to be more independent and confident, more willing to take risks and yet recognize that he must accept responsibilities for his own actions. As seniors you have accomplished a great reservoir of knowledge which must be added to in the years ahead. Learning is a continued process. Your many efforts will be rewarded on graduation day. Underclassmen have to continue adding to their many experiences. You have the opportunity to profit by the mistakes, that others have made. Take advantage of the mistakes, turn them into something worthwhile. Remember if you do not give your all then the rewards may not be what we expect or want. Aubrey W. Jackson Principal 7

But now we wonder. Time, along with the new jets, has taken wing and is flying past us at a supersonic rate, never to be seen again. Time is valuable! As this is being written there is only a short time remaining in this school year! Our teachers, for a pastime, seem to enjoy torturing us with assignments, quizzes, term papers, tests, themes, book reports, and innumerable other acces- sories that belong with an education. Since they are definitely necessary, why don’t we meet them face to face and do our very best to use them as opportunities. Let us take advantage of every spare moment that comes our way. A lot of you probably think that the preceding lines can only pertain to the underclassmen who have another year or more of high school. This idea is way off course! Seniors and teachers alike can apply these principles to their everyday life. Time is very valuable! In future years when the gradautes of ’64 look back over this book and read this article we wonder whether they will be able to say that they used their time profitably and that they have achieved the goals they set for themselves. EMPTY SPACE “What?” said the editor to the artist’s face, “Can we put in this empty space?” “I don’t know,” was the artist’s reply, “But I’ll think of something in the wink of an eye. He racked his brain both far and near. And came up with what you find here.
