TO YOU” Not to be forgotten arc the countless trips he took with the band, the dances he chaper- oned, and the educational programs he made possible. We first became acquainted with Mr. Mann when we were in the eighth grade. He came to our various schools to prc-cnroll us and tell us a little about Shady Spring High School. Since that time he has been one of our most ardent boosters. Mr. Mann's leisure hours are spent hunting and fishing. He and his wife, Avaline, enjoy these sports at their hunting camp in Hampshire County and at their fishing camp on the river. MR. MANN. THIS IS OUR WAY OF SAYING THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL THE HELP AND ADIVCE YOU HAVE GIVEN US DURING OUR FOUR YEARS AT SHADY SPRING HIGH SCHOOL. 5

“DEDICATED WE, THE MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1963-1964 WISH TO EXPRESS OUR UNDAUNTED ESTEEM AND AF- FECTION BY DEDICATING OUR EDI- TION OF “THE SPRING” TO MR. RICH- ARD MANN. Mr. Mann has been one of our most help- ful leaders during our four years at Shady. When we needed someone to help us with academic or personal problems we knew that the door of his office was always open to us. When we needed a morale booster, he was right behind us giving us sound advice and a helpful hand. He always did his best to show us what facilities were at our command and to help us use these to our advantage. Mr. Mann is always willing to help a student with personal or scholastic problems.” Even though we may have resented the tests he gave and some of the “failure” inter- views we had with him, we now realize that he was only interested and concerned about our welfare and future. 4

A CHALLENGE Time Flies-TAKE OFF It was only a short while ago, it seems, that we were in the sophomore class. We were told that high school years are very important . . . and they go fast. The warning which came loud and clear was to make the most of our opportunities. We merely shrugged it off telling ourselves that there was plenty of time for everything. We didn’t need to worry. 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.
