Proudly We Dedicate This Book Standing: Mr. Thayer, Mr. DeCoster, Miss O’Reilly, Mr. Loth, Mr. Houseman. Seated: Miss Boulton, Mr. Evaul, Miss Parker. Some men of science think in terms of hate, Experiment with vehicles of woe; Their evil genius to annihilate Works equally as well on friend as foe. But men like you will always generate The spark of reason, coax it to a glow In preparation for some future date When we will need its noble flame to show A weary world the good now buried deep In formulas designed but to destroy. Man then can wake from out his nightmare sleep Where he used science as a lethal toy, And to his ancient griefs will say goodbye, Because you taught us how to live, not die. 4

Spring 1947 Dear Students: Science now seems to be the major factor in shaping the world we live in. The direction in which the continuing development of scientific principles will lead us depends to a large extent upon the character and high purpose of the high school graduates of today and tomorrow. This should be a sobering thought. About fifty per cent of the youth of America are graduates of high schools and so the average Ameri¬ can as far as education is concerned has a secondary school education. An individual has personality and personality is made up of personal characteristics. If the average American is to have the fore¬ sight and the leadership and the judgment to direct the path which the development of science should take, then the personal characteristics of the individual are of paramount importance. Are you just an average individual? Even to be average some of your personal characteristics must be above average for some are probably below. Make a searching analysis of yourself; which charac¬ teristics of yours need to be brought up to the average? How dependable a person are you? Are you a consistent worker? . . . How about your adaptability? Can you easily get along with others? Can you adapt yourself to any situation in which you are placed? . . . How much initiative have you? Can you think for yourself? Are you a self-starter? Do you see things to be done and do them? . . . Are you willing to work? Have you developed perseverance or when things get busy do you run away? Could you be classified as a drifter? . . . Are you honest? Can your word be depended upon? . . . What about your emotional stability? Are you touchy? . . . How about your physical health? Are you vigorous and active? A high school graduate should be able and willing to assume his share of individual responsibility. Are you ready? Sincerely yours, Elmer W. Snyder 3
