THE SENIOR CLASS

Collettsville High School

Collettsville, N. C.

The pine burr and the tree that bore it go

on without ending or even without pausing

in their life-cycle of growth and change.

Just as the pine biur carries on the heritage

of the mother tree, so the young men and

women who graduate from Collettsville High

perpetuate tiie teachings and the ideals in-

stilled in them by their school.

Through this volume, we have tried to

give a glimpse of our school year and of

those influences that have left their im-

prints on our lives.

A wish has been granted. A hope has been fulfilled. A new gym-

nasium, workshop, and cafeteria are now a part of CoUettsville School.

To many we owe debts of gratitude - - to the community, who voted

in favor of the school bonds; to oui principal, Mr. Porter, who never

ceased to present our needs. But especially are we grateful to Mr.

Abernethy and the members of the Caldwell County Board of Educa

-

tion, who are tireless in their efforts to better the schools of our coun-

ty. It was they who had the responsibility of apportioning the funds,

of planning the construction, and of seeing the work through to its

completion - - of making our dream a reality.

To show our sincere appreciation, we proudly dedicate this 1958

edition of the PINE BURR to the Caldwell County Board of Education.

Mr. Davis Tuttle; Mr. Clarence Sherrill; Mr. Maynard Teague; Mr.

C. M. Abernethy, Superintendent; Mr. George Boutwell, Chairman.

(Not pictured - Mr. John Frazier).

Youth and gaiety were his personal attributes; happiness was his

goal. To know him was a privilege; to be his friend was an honor. In

appreciation for his many fine qualities, we, the 1958 seniors, give

this page in memory of our unforgettable schoolmate - - Cleadus

Clarke

«

Get rid of that dangling participle, Charles.

Commas, semicolons, and - - wonder what's for lunch.

Re-living Valley Forge.
