Hey5 mine's not all here——IT* pages are

April 29, when they received their
^•nnuals* An assembly had been held
earlier in the day to dedicate T^
Shield to Mrs. Barbour, a teacher and
friend of the student body. All day
a restless excitement prevailed.
Finally, at 3s00, the bell rang for the
students to return to their homerooms,
and the annuals were distributed. Beach
trips had been planned for the weekend
oy some of the local churches, so a few
copies of the Shield were takento the
coach for friends' signatures.Annuals
^re passed around at school the follow-
^g week, and the freshmen, sophomores,
juniors, and seniors tried to sum up
from one to twelve years with a
Paragraph on one of the blank pages of
the Shield.
On behalf of the student body,
J®d like to say, "thank you" to Billy
Sames, the editor-in-chief, and the
Entire annual staff for their fine
efforts. Annuals like the 1966 Shield
^11 always let us enjoy the memories
ef our high school years.

CLASS RINGS AI^ID GRADUATION
■ STATIONARY
In November, the senior members
of the student council met with the
ring salesman and Mr. Sloan for the
purpose of choosing a design for the
class rings for I966. The design was
decided upon immediately so that the
rings could be finished as quickly
as possible.
All members of the senior class
met in the lunchroom on December 14
to place orders for rings and graduation
stationary. There were many choices
for those who ordered rings. The
rings were made available in three
sizes with a smooth stone, cut stone,
or stone with a crest. Stationary
included such items as personal cards,
invitations, scrap books, and thank
you cards.
The date on which the rings were to
arrive was announced in advance.
Seniors received rings during the
lunch hour on March 22 and the
stationary arrived May 9*
Class rings are prized as an
item of beauty and as a s3nnbol of
hard work and achievement.

GRADUATION
Graduation means to high school
students the parting of the ways.
Those of us who have com up together

own separate paths to our life's
work and perhaps will never be so
closely associated again. The
separation begins when we branch
