. PARENT-TEACHERS ASSOCIATIGN To the Vlasses of 1944: Our Pledge and Your Future. Our belief in the rising generation is measured by the parents' belief in them- selves.

May you continue to seek and to find greater knowledge and contentment. Always remember: Know the truth. and the truth will make you free.
