DEDICATION

JAMES E. THOMAS

We humbly dedicate this our nineteen hundred and sixty-one
edition of the Wildcat to Mr. James E. Thomas whose qualities
of friendship and loyalty have won a place of high respect, deep
admiration, and warm affection among both the student body and
the faculty.

This book cannot express how we feel toward him, but maybe
it will help show how much we appreciate the tireless work which
he has given to help us prepare this record of days at Appling
High School.

The Class of 61

HARRY B. THOMPSON

Principal

As time marches on the reminders in this year

book, like Drydens Alexanders Feast, make us fight

all our battles oer again and revel in the memory of
life at Appling High School. The illustrative records
here reproduced will serve as mute evidences, to the
next generation, how truly wonderful was the year at
Appling, that ended June 2, 1961.

Congratulations to the Wildcat staff for compiling
this, the 1961 edition of the history of the students of
this school.

Best wishes to the graduates of 1961 - - you face a
new scene which will challenge you, our sincere hope
is that you meet these challenges well.

A Salute

The class of 1961 proudly salutes Joyce Hawthorne and Willis
Sheftall for having been successful in passing the Negro College Inter-
Collegate Examination. Though they have not spent the past year within
the walls of our great Alma Mater, they will remain integral personal-

ities of the Class of 1961.

Presently, Joyce Hawthorne is a student at Spelman College and

Willis Sheftall is matriculating at Morehouse College, Atlanta, Georgia.

The Staff

FROM THE EDITOR

The days we share at our dear Appling High swiftly come and swiftly go
but the fun we have and the friends we make will remain infinitely within our
hearts. Each year we sadly watch the many footsteps fading down the hall, the
many departing voices that are dear to us. We watch them as they become but

silent memories recorded in our dear Alma Maters book of the fighting spirit.

It is in the true Appling Spirit that we the staff of 1960-61 Wildcats present
this book to you - - the faculty, administration, students, and alumni of our dear
school. It is our deepest wish that it will serve as a media whereby some fragment

of fading melody may be recalled and the recaptured moment can live again.
