RUCKDESCHEL Principal - Centre Avenue School M. DOUGLAS SACKMAN Director - Pupil Pertonnel High School June 1962 Dear Seniors, When in June you march into the auditorium to the traditional strains of Pomp and Circumstance for your graduation, if you try to look through the misty eyes of your parents and your relatives, you will see mirrored in their hearts, hopes and dreams for the future. You represent these hopes and dreams. Each succeeding generation of Americans, every graduating class, carries the responsibility to strive to improve the world conditions of its age. In high school we have tried to prepare you to fulfill this responsibility. We want you to be strong and clean and of high purpose. You don't have to be told about the many problems you will have to face in the years ahead. You are living in a period of conflicting ideologies. Your character has been tempered by this knowledge. Now, as never before, we need graduates who are steadfast in their belief in the moral and political values of free western culture. You. are the new breed of Americans, standing like the minute men of old, tall and straight - the bright hope of our troubled times. We trust you will measure up to our dreams, and we wish you Godspeed. Yours truly. A X UlLJ-pai WAB ms
