E101 l Supa ' ' paincalfzaf 44 UR PARAMOUNT concern is not only to maintain the best traditions ot' Berlin Brothersvalley High School, but also to march forward in a changing world where each year brings new problems. In doing so, let us retain our sturdiness, our simplicity, our dignity, our honesty, and our respect to God in heaven. May we avoid smugness and complacency. With these thoughts in mind, may we be able, ten years hence, to write the story of twenty successive years in which we have im- proved ourselves. The words you have read were part of my message to the students in the Bervalon of 1948. Ten years have passed since then. To me much of what we aimed for could be our goal today, for we still always wish to have dignity and simplicity, honesty and respect. Certainly we will continue to avoid smugness and complacency. Have we improved ourselves over these ten years? As individuals each of us must ask himself that question and answer it. Certainly others have their opinion. As an institution, have we improved? We think so. In these ten years member' ship in our jointure has increased. New courses have been added to the curriculum and additional personnel to our starl. A new grade school is in the bright picture of the future. ln the last analysis, however, improvement comes to each of us only to the extent that we utilize our teachers and the surroundings in which we work to secure the education which is ours for the asking and the application necessary to mas' tering it. May we, ten years hence, have no regrets as we look back and evaluate our rate of progress. JAMES M. CASSEL Szzpfrvifizzg Prirzripalf
