They were proud of him then and we are prouder of him now. Henry has proved that the foundation which Snowden helped him build was strong, firm, and helpful for future development. He started out with a quick understanding of new ideas and desire for knowledge, a wide range of information concerning events happening around him. Henry had a high sense of right and wrong and a willingness to meet people half way and to respect their rights. Now he is Mayor of Memphis. The citizens recognized his leadership, power and ability. He has done just what was expected of him, and we hope this is only the beginning of bigger things for you, Mr. Loeb, in the future. 'nu I' tai: -1-1:-:.:.gnnm:-:-5 91 , .

They seemed a quieter lot than usual, but as time passed they seemed to take on some of the usual teenage trademarks. As the new wore off, loud talking was heard in hallsg giggling and shrill voices were greatly in evidence. The same al- lergy for study appeared also. These teenagers were a bit irres- ponsible at first, but they accepted and carried out their responsibil- ities, in a creditable way. All in all they did well considering the growing pains they were experienc- ing.

HV, .,,, . .,,-um -. THIS IS OUR SCHOOL Many of us have been here for nine years, some since the seventh grade, and a few are newcomers. But to all Snowden has become a symbol of many Worthwhile things. Here we have learned to do for ourselves and to respect the rights of our classmates. Some were timid and found it difficult to do things with others, while some were too forward and needed to he taught restraint. Some of the most valuable contributions Snowden has made to us are a foundation to stand on and tools with which to work. These will be useful throughout our adult life. We have learned to read for information, knowledge, and idealsg to express our thoughts in both written and spoken words. We have obtained an historical background for future under- standing of our government, and the development of our country as well as of that of other lands. In mathematics and science we have prepared to meet the everyday needs of life as well as more comprehensive study for the future. 7' 4-nu
