ADMINISTRATION To the Class of 1949: For twelve years you have taken advantage of the educational opportunities offered by the Berlin Public Schools. You are now to receive a certificate stating that you have completed the work required for a high school diploma and you are about to be graduated. To many this implies the end of your education. This is not true as nowhere in your diploma is the word education used, and yet you were getting part of your education at high school. Education is a life process taking place every minute of your life. What you did in school has and will continue to help you get the most from education. My wish and hope is that you will continue to learn and to grow in wisdom and stature. MARLIN V. MacLAUGHLIN Superintendent of Schools For the Seniors named in this Lamp of 1949-Congratulations! You have completed one step in life's journey. We, the faculty, have been living very close to you during the last four years. Now, as fond parents, we will watch your next step with more confidence and with increasing pride. Up to this point, yours has been a sheltered life. Your plans have been guided to a considerable extent. As you leave this protection of your home and school, the important decisions in life will require your careful and thoughtful consideration. In most instances these decisions will shape the pattern of your life. May you always have a high regard for personal honor, for the fullest enjoyment of success is dependent upon the esteem of one's fellowmen. And when there are more mortal years behind you than ahead, may you look back upon a life well spent, having no regrets. KENNETH L. MacKENZIE Principal 4 MRS. LILLIAN M. McNICKLE Secretary to Superintendent
