The School, to better aid the individual, should

seek to unfold his natural tendencies rather than set

up certain conventional and uniform standards of

accomplishments, irrespective of ability. The points

pertinent to guidance include social and civic behav-

ior, loyalty to humanity, boy-girl relationships, and

social hygiene. The best test for evaluating the school

systenr is the appraisal society makes of the behavior

of the School's product in the social situation en-

countered tliroughout life. Learning takes place best

when the pupil comes from a home in which the

adults maintain a discipline conducive to study;

rvher.r the child himself is intellectually normal by

accepted standards; when his teachers are well

qualified; when the school location is easily acces-

sible; when the buildings and equipment are ade-

quate; and when the Community ofiers no serious

enticements towards juvenile delinquency. In addi-

tion, the accord between parent and teacher should

be easy, the curriculum suitable, and the aims of the

School thoroughly practical. The institutions and in-

dividuals which should co-operate in the program of

education should include the family, religious olgani-

zations, and civic and educational groups, as well as

key individuals of the community. The School serves

as an intellectual, informative and social hub of the

cornrnnnity by being a place of irnportant meetings,

rvhere programs of the best type are presented and

where the most enlightened sentirnent is created and

set forth. Education is the sun-r total of those rneas-

ures taken by qual.ified institutions and persons to as-

sist the student towards as happy a life as is possible

in a changing civiiization. Such assistance consists

in helping. the learner to attain the service of societl'.

Th:s, We Believe!!!

This School was established under the narne of

the Bowling Green Industrial Academy, by the Caro-

line Sunday School Union in Ig03 with 5 students

and I teacher. During the next year the institution

rvas incorporated by an act of the Legislature of Vir.

ginia. It was then maintained as a private Academy

by the Caroline Sunday School Union until 1914.

rvhen it was taken over by the School Board of Car.o-

line County and converted into a Training School.

Upon accreditation of the School in 1926 the name

was changed to Union High in honor of its founder.

The growth has been very rapid in fifty years of

existence. The School, which begain in a partiallv

completed building with 5 students and 1 teacher,

has increased to 750 students and 28 teachers and a

rnodern structure. This progress has been niade pos-

sible by many loyal citizens and organizations, but

foremost of these have been the leaders of Caroline

County and the six principals who have served the

School so well.

The School's enrollment and faculty members have

tripled in the past 12 years. We are proud of our

Ahna llater's history and of the spirit and vision of

its forefathers. We feel that we can honor in no bet-

ter way the founders of this institution than by rnak-

ing permanent the works which they have so r-robll

and bravely belun. This clay rve extend to all of its

friends olrr warmest and sincere greeting and heartr-

rvelconte.

. Members of the graduating class of -I9j4, l commend you for rgaching this pointin your preparation for.life throug! sacrifice and labor. Therl are t*o *.ysio utt&n^nimportant eld - one is.through force and the other through persever.ance. Force fallsto the lot.of only the privileged few; but, austere and sust-ainid perseverance can bepracdced by-the most insignificant. Its silent power grows iresistibie with time. Almostevery good thing must be won, not by luck oi accide-nt, but by honest toil.

Slumber not in the tents of the past, for the world is advancing. Advance with it!Use your-gifts and training faithfully-and. they_will become enlargedl Practice what youknow and you shall attain higher knowledge. The grandest of all iaws is the law of pro-gressive. development, for all ihat is human"must retiograde if it does;";;;;:;. Vil;.we are is not as important as the direction in which Je ^re moving.

Character is rhe foundation of all worthwhile succqss. A good heart, benevolentfeelings, and a balanced mind, lie at the foundation of character. btrrer things;;y ;;;;and go but character is thar which lives and abides within ,rJ i,

durins this time that one of our classmates foas chosen "Miss union fiigh;'-f---.rnceed was qurte an honor.

- The year l95l-52 was th_e highlight of our school years. S7e were now self-assuredsophomores-92 strong.. In January, together with oui colleagues, we moved into ournew and modern school. Everyone was elated over the spaci,o.rs auditorium, cafereriaand gymnasium.

C/ooo P-oFLn',7I dreamed I was a gypsy fortune teller with a crystal ball {ore me. And after see-

ing many strange and weird things, my eyes rested upon the pleasant prophecy of myclassmates oI'54. As my crystall ball revolves I see:

Peter Arnold as president of Arnold's Transport Company, with Manon Ferguson,Alfred Carter, Lewis Peatross and Villie Roye as chief operators of the \il7est Coastbranches. Ruth Bryant is his bookkeeper and Doris Coleman his secretary.

I am"now traveling across the continent. Out in Hollywood, I see _June Dickersonhas signed a 5 year contract with Varner Brothers. \7hile there, I looked in on MadelynCourtiey and Althea Gaines who are earning $20 per hour as models.

As I move eastward, I see the old familiar Union High. James \Toolfolk is nowprincipal and Roger Young is teaching history. Robert Carter teaches shop and EugeneThompson is instructor of physical education.

On to Bowling Green, my how it's changed. It is a very large tosrn now. The dressshop across the street belongs to Frances Moore; Molly Minor is her Paris buyer. ShirleyNorman, Lucy Moore,.and Pauline Roye are sales ladies.

Down the street, I see Marjorie Beverly and she hasn't changed a bit. She operatesher own beauty shop and Arlene Mines is a very capable manicurist. Julia Jones is herexpert hair srylist.

Now, I must move on over to Ashland where I see Susie Richardson who is theideal wife and mother .

From here I go to Ifashington, D. C. As fate would have it, here comes CelesteHoward. Lessie Reynolds and she are employed at the Pentagon. Charles Fleming man-ages the Stop Flight Taxi Co. Howard Pullen and Cecil Carter are instructors at How-ard University Law School. Celeste tells me that Harry "Sp'ark" Derricote will play thereSaturday night with the Harlem Globetrotters.

I shall stop over in New York before I complete my tour to visit Joyce Carter whooperares a nursery school. Jean Monte teaches there also. In the business district, there'sAubry Reynolds"'Salon for Men" and Oscar Gaines' dental office. Mildred Coleman ishis dental hygienist. Along the avenue I stopped by to say "Hello" to Otelia Colemanwho is fashion designer for Christine Doir. Ruby Carter is her sales coordinator.

Ruby Monroe is dietitian in a Howard Johnson Restaurant. After a delightful mealI went to the "Latin Quarter" where Dorothy Clarke is billed for two weeks as a popu-lar singer. Joyce Jackson is there also as a dancer.

Tomorrow I am invited rc ^ patty at Florence Jefferson's. She is a very successfulinterior decorator. I hope to see some of my friends there; perhaps, Sarah Smithers whois a secretary, Mary Fells a typist, Yvonne Latney, a nutrition expert, Betry \7righr, alibrarian and Elizabeth Rock who lives here in New York with her husband.

I ran into Romaine Fortune who supervises the youngsters of the community Y.I7.-C.A..Eunice Samuels lives in California with her husband, John Frazier. Jeanice Garnettand Eva Harris operate a toy shop on Chestnut Street in downtown Philadelphia. Mar-jorie Davis is employed as a.secretary at Gimbels.

Lorraine Gaines, Clara NToolfolk, and Arlene Johnson are nurses in Cooper Hospitalin New Jersey.

oh! I musr huffy and pack. I forgot I musr cover a srory for the TIMES in Japan.Maybe while I am there I cin visit Marian Thomas who is a social worker there.

And, before my crystal ball becomes completely dark, I predict for all, success whereever thev embark.
