Messages to the Seniors Your graduating from high school means that you have completed one step in the acquisition of knowl edge. Coming as it does at an early age in your life. it is but the beginning of a gradual growth which in the alert and progressive individual should never stop. Unfortunately for many. however. mental development seems to be synonymous with going to school. Your high school preparation should serve as the foundation upon which your mind should grow and expand. drawing from the countless opportunities for further learning to be obtained from meeting people. working with people. and serving people. The learned man is cultured. he is refined. he is helpful. he is responsible, he is trustworthy. and he is cognizant of his duties and obligations toward his fellowman. The foundation for such learning has been built for you during your four years in high school, the type of structure you will build depends on you. on your ambition and your willingness to con- tinue to learn. Henceforth the world in which you live is your school: your daily experiences. your teachers: your success or failure. your diploma. BERNARD F. NORTON Superintendent of Schools To you. members of the class of 1947. I wish success and happiness in the years to come. but above all. that you will carry forth in your everyday life the valuable lessons gained in school. Your diploma is a special reward for work completed. It also indicates that you have a certain amount of intelligence. It will profit you to put this intelligence into action for the common good. to seek the truth. to have ideals and to discern moral values. A school is proud of its graduates who attain renown. but its true success is measured chiefly by the unheralded actions of good and intelligent citizens, whose work and influence. be it ever so small. raise the standards of life in their community, and in some way contribute to the happiness of mankind. Especially in those measures. depend the success of your secondary school education. GABRIELLE M. ROY Principal
