OUR PRINCIPAL SPEAKS TO THE CLAS.S OF 1954: The most consistent note in all commencement addresses is that the graduate goes forth to take his place in an uncertain world. There is truth indeed in such a contention, for we do not know what any tomorrow will bring. It may well be that this time in history seems less predictable than some others. However, man has never found his material future too well planned or too secure. The great personal adventures of trial and error, failure and success, are his to experience. Youth al- ways looks ahead with faith, and it is my hope you will also realize the full extent of your personal responsibilities. They are many - as a citizen, as a member of a family, and basically, as a human being. You have lived and worked together in a good comprehensive high school, and it 'is reasonable to believe that the quality of your training has been such that you will always be a credit to this institution -and to the community in which you choose to live. I have great faith in you. Q a,.,zd,g, IO
