Principal ' s Message In the Principal’s message for the first yearbook, Opus ’57, I stated that on the Opening Day September 4, 1956, “Sheldon-Williams was an incompleted building, peopled by students and teachers. It was not a school”. Fourteen years later, all this has changed. The building was completed, and it has even been altered by the installation of siudy carrels and conference rooms in what was originally the study hall, Room 12. There has been a strong growth of school spirit over the years; a feeling among students that they belong to, are a part of, an institution of which they have reason to be proud. This sense of belonging also permeates the staff. Rarely has one sensed so much of mutual trust and respect, of solidarity, of true friendship, in any high school staff. Truly, in its first fourteen years, Sheldon-Williams has developed proud tra¬ ditions! High levels have been achieved in scholarship; in music and drama; in athletics; in service to the school, to the community and far beyond; in student government; in creative leadership and the assumption of responsibility by students. With what a fine staff we opened school, fourteen years ago! Many teachers have come and gone (some one hundred and thirty-five teachers have been or still are teachers at Sheldon-Williams). Many of these have been truly out¬ standing. Sheldon-Williams has acquired some reputation as a school willing to experiment, but cautiously clinging to what has seemed good. It is the scholarly and creative and dedicated teachers, working with a most responsive and loyal student body that have given Sheldon-Williams its character and quality. I wish to compliment the present graduating class, as I have so many in the past, on their attention to their studies and to the many other activities that make up the life of the school. I thank them for the support they have given the Principal and Staff. I wish them life’s richest blessings as they leave these halls. Au Revoir My personal farewell as I, too, leave these halls. I am grateful for having had the opportunity of giving leadership in this school for the past fourteen years. I shall take with me the recollection of many golden friendships with my students and my teachers. If I have been able in some way to serve the students and teachers in Sheldon-Williams during these years I am content. J. R. A. Pollard, 2 Principal.
