medication We, the Triad Club of 1957, do hereby dedicate this, our yearbook, to Miss Dorothy Andrews in recognition of her untiring help and guidance throughout her years at Regional. Having devoted much time, effort, and sound advice to the entire school as well as to the students in her English and Reading Programs, we feel that we should present this award to such an outstanding person. 3

E THE RIVER OF EDUCATION The river of education is as broad and deep as we ourselves wish to make it. It is so vast that its banks never floodg they are too wide. This river is different from others because it has not one or two channels, but a countless number, each going its own way. The river of education begins as a shallow stream of curious thoughts running through our minds when we are children and are always asking Why? We begin to splash about among these new thoughts and ideas as they come to us. Some of us may dive head first into these strange waters, and, as a result, we are just barely able to keep our heads above the water. Others wade in very slowly, making sure there are no sharp stones or dangerous drops that may trap them or interfere with their progress. As time passes, we become a part of the purpose and direction of this mighty river. We find ourselves caught in a strong current and we begin our long journey downstream avoiding the rocks and fallen trees in our way. The river has its eddies and rapids where it is rough and hard to go through. Many are unable to keep up with its swift flow and are tossed upon the river banks where they may loiter without purpose or. may instead, seek to travel other ways to teach the sea. By now we have learned more about this ever How- ing river and what it demands of those who seek to 'use it to reach their goals. Looking back, we can re- member the trials and difiimlties we were able to con- quer and we have gained a skill that will help us in further plotting our course. The river gives us a certain feeling of satisfaction and urges us to continue. Those of us who are able to meet the demands of this great force, are now approaching the mouth, which provides the harbor from which we must sail toward new goals in the mysterious sea beyond. Out there in the vast sea many of us have an island. We will travel on and on through the deepest of the deep until we find the island that was meant for us. For those who realize how comparatively little they really know, this eternal sea is a constant source of knowledge. Each wave carries with it a new lesson to be learned and used to prepare us for the greater waves ahead. The river of education, which began as such a shallow stream grows into a mighty river and finally empties into a sea, changing but eternal.
