Chatham Superintendent Message E.W. Hamby Principal Our efforts to make your past four years very useful and profitable may seem to you were not the best you needed, and that is probably right, but, as you become more mature and responsible in your niche of life, you will see it was Dot so bad. Now, that you have received so much from others,parents, teachers, fellow-classmates, take heed that you do not be- come selfish and not help those about you to reach higher than you will while they may stand on your shoulders.

The Senior Class, are fortunate indeed to have had the leadership of Mr. Coy A. Chatham and Mr. E. W. Hamby througnout our high school years. The success we may have attained has been due to their tireless efforts, working in co-operation with us and our parents.
