During this time we have acquired knowledge that will prove valu- able to us in the future when we shall need deter- mination, confidence, and courage to meet life's problems. Our everchanging WAY OF LIFE has made us realize the importance and value of our high ,school education in meeting the innumerable problems con- fronting America and the rest of the world today. We should like to express our appreciation to our parents, teachers, and friends, who have con- tributed so much, throughout the years, toward making our high school graduation a reality. Their tireless efforts on our behalf will always be deeply appreciated. We also wish to thank all those who have helped the Editorial Staff gather information for the T957 BLACK AND GOLD YEARBOOK.
