Laurel Valley High School - Laurel Yearbook (New Florence, PA)

Page 16 text:

ADMINISTRATION contributed wise To the Graduating Class: Knowing the importance that is placed upon the written word and the pictures that go into the making of a yearbook, Itake great pleasure in having this opportunity to say these few words, One cannot think about the seniors leav- ing without being sad, To realize that old friends will part and to realize also that probably the entire class will never be to- .gether again are sober thoughts, May I impress upon your minds the importance of this annual you have produced. Yearbooks like antiques become more valu- able through age, Be good to this book, and throughout the years you will refer to it many times, You will learn to rely upon the LAUREL which will become increasingly more important to you as written memories of your life in Laurel Valley High School, Congratulations to the seniors of 1960, Hold your heads high and carry on the good name of this educational institute. Good luck and Godspeed, J, Ernest Johnson Supervising Principal J MISS WANDA LEAR, clerk in the office of super vising principal, takes a message for Mr. Johnson
