GFGJOX .. . K He.. enior Class President's Address Mr. Faust, Members of the Faculty, Parents, Classmates and Friends: VVhat should I do with my life? VVhere should I seek emp'oyment? VVl1at type of work am I best suited for? Should I further my education? These ques- tions have long been familiar to us all. They puzzle some of us and are answered with relative ease by others. Nevertheless, they are difficult and worrisome ques- tions. Choosing wisely for the future presents a challenge to each one of us here on the stage tonight. While in Oswego High we learned many things that will help us to choose wisely. We were taught by experienced and well educated teachers who once had to answer those questions themselves. This teaching enabled many students to discover a talent that they possessed whether it be in the field of mathematics science or art. Now that we are leaving these teachers, we are more or less inde- pendent as far as educational guidance. We would like to thank them sincerely for their patience and kindness to us during the past four years. The many subjects that we studied in O. H. S. gives us a varied background of preliminary learning. The science courses developed the orderly mind that is so necessary in the world today. By developing a scientific approach to problems we learned to observe, analyze and conclude many situations. I'm sure that this will help us face the stern tests that lie ahead in the laboratory of life. The four years of English that we all studied helped us to secure a keen knowledge of our native tongue. We also developed a cultural background by learning to appreciate and enjoy the classical literature of the world. In our history courses we learned about our heritage from the bloody bat- tles of Lexington and Concord to the horrible stories of the Korean conflict. We were taught to appreciate our country more by studying the devastating conditions in some of the countries abroad. Not only did we gain wisdom in the classrooms, but also through the broad extra curricular program that was at our disposal, we developed self assurance, poise and personality. Iloys and girls alike learned to work together as a team and to take wins and losses in stride without contempt or bitterness toward the opposition. This experi- ence on the playing field will aid us greatly so that we might take our place in society and face all the problems that come our way in a sporting manner. In music, art and student government organizations we became interested in various hobbies and crafts that will benefit us as we grow older. In the serv- ice organizations in the school, many of our boys learned ways of becoming use- ful citizens through their services to the school and community. During this well rounded educational period, we can rest assured that we have benefited by the experience we received, that will undoubtedly make us assets to the community and to the nation. We hope to have learned to work for the betterment of society, bearing in mind the idea that money isn't everything. It is possible that from this class will come men and women who will hold key posts in government organizations. These people will be able to look back on a fine high school background and work for the good of the organization rather than the individual. ..32..
