Beal started the school paper, it seemed natural that it should be named The Pine Knoll Register because nearly all of the school ' s activities centered, in one way or another, around Pine Knoll. Therefore, when the prob- lem of a cover for the paper came up, it seemed fitting for Willard French, now town librarian, to draw a picture of the pine and stump. The pine probably still stands, but the stump has long since been removed. The stump, which was four or five feet in diameter and hollowed out in the middle, served as a bench and meeting place of the students. It was also a popular place for photographs to be taken. This drawing of the pine stump remained the school seal until recently, when Mr. Hartley, Principal, and Mrs. Shook, Language teacher, revised it by adding a circle and the words, Similis Pino, a Latin motto meaning, As the Pine. This is the way it now appears on the high school banner.

Editorial On September 5, 1934, this class of 1946 began its educational journey. A journey that has seen little folks of five and six blossom into young men and women ready to step out of our high school into a new environment. After to-night 8:42 will have lost its meaning. The die is pretty well cast. We parents and teachers have had our opportunity to mold upright, dependable, gracious and intelligent boys and girls. It was a partnership all the way. Sacrifices have been made, some large, some small. There have been great tempta- tions in our community, with help so scarce and wages in industries so lucrative over the past few years, not to put first things first. Many parents have had to carry a much heavier load in order to make this graduation possible. The teachers, too, have felt the effect of the last few years of unrest. But knowing that these young men and women have been given the opportunity to stay in school and gain both that knowledge that comes from text books and, also, that intangible but all important social education that comes from the close association in work and play with their fellow students and teachers in a wholesome environment is ample reward. That these young men and women may find contentment and happiness is the sincere hope of their parents, teachers and friends. WILLIAM J.
