NELSON, Principal Manchester High School Manchester, Pennsylvania Phone 3131 PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE Congratulations to you on your graduation from Manchester High School. You are eagerly anticipating the great adventures which are to be yours.... higher education, a vocation, or perhaps a period of time in the service. As you go about these activities you will begin to find a new and greater appreciation of your high school education. It is true that some doors will be opened for you by virtue of the fact that you have a diploma. However, the qualities which helped you earn the diploma are the ones which will help you to succeed in your chosen vocation, and not the diploma itself. It is with pride and reluctance that we graduate you from high school. Pride in that we believe that you are well prepared to meet the realities of life---reluctance in that we will miss you. The class of i955 has become a part of this institution. You have had your influence on it, and in return it has influenced you. And now as a new chapter of your life unfolds before you, may I wish you many opportunities and the wisdom to recognize them as such, and the desire to make full use of them Elfer S4006 gui!!
