The school, to better aid the individual,

should seek to unfold his narural tendencies rath-

er than set up cerain conventional and uniform

standards of accomplishments, irrespective of

abiliry. The points pertinent to guidance include

social and civic hygiene. The best methods of

evaluating the school system is the appraisalsociety makes of the behavior of the school'sproduct in the social situations encounteredthroughout life.

Learning takes Place best when the pupil comes from a home ln

which the adul* maintain a discipline conducive to study: when 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 ate adequate; and when the

community offers no serious enticements toward juvenile delinquency'

In addition, the accord between parent and teacher should be easy,

the curriculum suitable, and the aims.of the school throughly Practi-cal.

The institution and individuals which should cooPerate in the pro-

gram of education should include the family, religious organizations,civic and educational groups, as well as key individuals of the com-munity. The school serves as an intellectual, informative, and socialhub of the community by being a place of important meetings, whereprograms of the best type are presented and where the most enlightenedsentiment is created and set forth.

Education is the sum total of those measures taken by qualified in-stiturions and persons to assist the pupil toward as happy a life as ispossible in a changing civilization. Such assistance consists in helpingrhe learner to attain the satisfaction of his interest and to forward hisdevelopment in the service of society.

It gives me much satisfaction to congratulate

the clas of 195? for having mettherequiremeut

for graduarion at this institution' I am certain

rhat you will not cease PreParing Yourselves to

live worthwtrile lives nor allow your quest for

knowledge to wane. For knowledge always desires

increase. It is like fire that must be kindled by

some external agent; but it is comparatrvely

worthles unless digested into practicalwisdom

and good iudgment. It is the comfort of old age

aad makes men fitcompany for themselves.

Remember that life, however short, is made shorter by the loss of time;,for, time is

rhe cradle of hope and the grave of ambition. It is the st'ern corrector of fools but the

selutory counselor of the wise. It warns us with a voice that even the wisest discredit

too long andrhatthe silliest believe too late. Wisdom walks before it. opportunity with

it, and repentance behind it. He that has made time his friend will have little to fear

from his enemies; but he that has made it his enemy will have little to hope from his

friends.

Hardships and opposition are the native soil of manhood and self reliance. It is not

ease but effort, not facility but difficulty that makes men. The acorn does not become

an oak in a day, the ripened scholar is not made by a single lesson and there arealways

months betvyeen the seed time and the harvest. For perseverance gives Power to \4reak-

nessandopenstopovertytheworld'swealth. It spreadsferti l i tyover the barren landscapes

and bids the choicest fruits and flowers to spring up and flourish in the desert abode of

thorns and briers.

You are obligated to use well yoru talents "to bring about happiness' to help your

neighbors; to serve yoru counrry in its needs with kindness and diligence in words and

deeds, to think without confusion clearly, to act with honest motives purely, to love

your fellowmen sincerely, and to trust in God securely

Ite illusuious sons and daughters of Union High School ate many, their reputation

and services are most valuable. It is you that $/e now invite to become members of this

noble family. Trusting that you will be uue to your Alma Mater; uue to God and true

rc all Mankind.

A Sincere Friend

Chtt J{s/ory

.In September 1952, our nervous fingers opened the doors of Union High fot

ther first time. Our eager minds were receptive to the exploratory courses of

the eighth grade, as we longed for the transition to the ninth grade and high

school. Our hands applauded the dramatic club, choir, softball and baseballteams, and the basketball team to a victorious championship of the VirginiaInter-scholastic Athletic League. We worked hard to help get our bleachersfor the gymnasium, and Nancie Gray became dre Ntay Queen.

Our hands really exercised the grip on things as our hearts ttuobbed for DearOle Union during 1953. These hands knew at last that they belonged. Roland

Johnson, Rudolph Redd, and James Jeter flipped basketballs with great abiliry.They fired baseballs with blinding speed. We became a part of rhe StudentGovernment Pauol System, and our hands stopped automobiles ro safe guardthe lives of our fellow students,

As sophomores, we &ought our bold hands were the greatest. These handswielded gavels as we held offices in the various organizations. Veriine Ander-son earned a place on the basketball team; James Howard and Edward Dudleylet their nimble fingers express mirth and tragedy in, "Foxy Grandma," ourdramatic play. the baseball team received a thundering applause as our handsburned to the rythmic chanr of victory in the State Championship.

Our hands were not the only ones that worked for our welfare. Others werebuilding four new classrooms, a band room and an audio-vlsual aids room. Weattended Language Day at Maggie L. Walker High School. We touched a partof America's heritage as we toured Colonial Williamsburg. Alberta Monte waselected president of the Srudenr Government. This junior year brought a newexperience as we worked for band instruments. We combined our fingers andhearts to get the first glorious strands of the Star Spangled Banner. The SeniorClass of 1956 enjoyed the fruits of our labor at the Iunlor-senior Prom.

Senior hands at lastl l !!! A l itt le proud maybe, but humility, anxiety, graceand hard work helped us through this Last year. The shrubbery, draperies, andpaint were added to beautify our school. These hands opened for hard earneddollais as we purchased rings, rook pictures, published a yearbook, and boughtother senior needs. Writer's cramps became our ailment as term papers, themesand examinations became a part of the grind.

Then it happened! ! ! On Iune '1, 1957, rhose nervous fingers of 1952, reachedout. Aggressive, courageous, dignified and sure fingers wrapped themselvesaround that precious and beloved diploma. These hands do not cease here, butgo forward to seek and conquer new horizons.

They are press photographers in the lobby. FloydMonroe is a chauffeur for the Congress

man from his State. Jean Braxton works for him also.

The emcee dked me to guess who the two Almas were in the class of '5?. They

were secretaries for Alma's Incorporated. Of course, tbey were Rollins and Quash, I

knew that. But I did not know that Bessie Mines, Gtadyr Tillman and Alice Braxton

worked with the same firm. Speaking of like names. de Brotm girts, Shirley and Doris,

were parmers in a physicians secretarial service.

Time was ebbing and "Old Ebb Tide" told me that all of 6ese persoos would be at

an after dinner and parry in " The Swank Hotel, " and that This Was My tife. i knew

the food would be delicious because Yvonne Courmey and Mable Turnerwere dietitians

for the hotel.

When rhe copy of the autographed book was handed me, I noticed it bad been edited

by Scott, Miles and Wright. I knew these to be Florence, Shirley and Rebecca.

Elated as I was, I could not help saying, "Anyone of these old classmates bad done

better than I, and the program should have been the Past decade of their lives.'
