We have but recently passed this step in the ladder of learning, ready to see just what type of clay we are. Some of our number leave, feeling confident that their four years of effort have been sufficient. Others will go on to higher places of learning, to more completely shape their lives. But wherever the path of destiny may take the members of our class, we feel confident that the ideals and principles that Fordson High School has imparted to us, will always be a guiding influence in our lives.

 PODLEWSKI Seniors (JUNE CLASS) President's Farewell (ClipHERE comes a time when the Senior Class president is called upon to express. A as adequately as possible, the feelings of his class and to leave a message to the juniors so soon to follow. For three preceding years, I have listened to various senior presidents, standing before the student body, wishing them success and joy in their high school careers, and bestowing upon the juniors a rather indefinite gift they chose to call good luck.” Now, I too, stand in the same position, before the student body, and, I too, wish them success and joy in their high school careers. According to tradition it should also be my pleasure to wish the junior class good luck. But the words, for some reason, are beyond my power to utter. As I think of our own past year, I remember moments that were far from joyful, of unseen obstacles that suddenly seemed as if they would thwart our success, and 1 wonder if I would be as proud of my class as I am, had the road been easy and our success due to “good luck rather than work. No, instead of wishing the next Senior Class good luck, I wish them instead a few disappointments and a few obstacles, so they may have a chance to know the feeling of satisfaction which comes when accomplishment is difficult.
