WALLS . . . Contents Introduction 1 Honors 18 Participation 32 Administration 46 Classification 66 Competition 104 Conclusion 118 Sponsors 122 Herein lies the greatest, the most loyal. and the best there is. Upon crossing the portals of Surry Central, each one of us becomes a vital part, no matter how small, of a great institution that is far more than just a structure. Within these walls a teacher smiles, and a student ' s eyes light with under¬ standing. Here we first experience a sensation of belonging, a feeling that in itself makes continuous demands of each of us. Within these walls relationships bud that will endure throughout our lives. Here we learn to accept failure as well as success and add both to the building of our character. Here we first feel the pride of attaining a goal through our own honest efforts. Within these walls we are spending the most memorable days of our lives. These happy moments, as well as sad ones, are all deeply embedded in our minds and are recorded in this yearbook. 3
