To The 1962 Graduating Class—ICHS: Last year the challenge was—“The pursuit of excellence”—Still is, with this added observation. It’s a common experience as you grow to feel the pressure of the moment become almost unbearable—thinking the myriad detail that you are bound up with will never let up—saying to yourself, “I think I’ll quit or give up,” or “If I could only go to sleep and wake up in ten years to find all my troubles had disappeared.” Try this: Stay awake, be realistic, and tell yourself this overwhelming truth em- phatically, “Ten years from now, all my present seemingly unresolved problems and troubles will have disappeared.” By your continued pursuit, you will then have found the key to the happy, suc- cessful and meaningful life. Congratulations, you have successfully arrived at still another plateau—“Com- mencing” your drive to the next. Sincerely, Joseph D. Kurtz President of the Board of Education 3

DEDICATION During your many years of service for Mr. Corser and the entire student body, you have contributed generously to life here at Iroquois. It is felt by the Yearbook Staff that we want to acknowledge this fact. Your wonderful character and school spirit have been out- standing examples to students and faculty alike. Whenever someone needs help, you are always willing to give your time and efforts to help him. You have smoothed the way for many a class and individual student. Your cheerful countenance and attitude have become an established part of life at Iroquois. To you, Mrs. Robinson, we humbly dedicate this issue of the Iroquoian with sincere appreciation and deserved recognition for a job well done. Sincerely yours, The Class of 1962 2

PRINCIPAL OF THE DISTRICT Class of 1962: Congratulations to each of you, upon your graduation from Iroquois Central and for another successful “Iroquoian”. You leave our school at a most unusual time in the history of our great nation. If a solution is found in the near future, for the coexistence of nations, then the future unfolds to each of you unlimited op- portunities for the good life” ahead, it is my fervent hope and prayer that such a solution may be found. With opportunity, however, goes grave responsibility. You are now entering adulthood, and must be prepared to accept your share of the responsibility of be- coming a part of our adult society. By right of franchise you will help to elect those who will govern the society in which you live. By honest effort and application of your talents, you will decide the economic status of your existence in this society. By the example of your moral and spiritual lives, you will influence your children and friends, to be divinely good or disgracefully evil. If your decisions of the future are to keep this nation a free society, then you must show courage, determination, sharpen your ability to think straight, and fight to maintain your individuality in the face of mass response. I have confidence in your ability to do these things, if you remain ever vigilant and alert to hidden danger. Best wishes and good luck to each of you upon your journey. A. Donald Bartoo, Principal of the District 4
