m essaye rom Our Eight years ago. you. the Class of 1958, entered a new school build- ing as fifth graders. Most of you were ten years old at the time. This new school was a great achieve- ment on the part of the adult mem- bers of your community; they built a school for your education and en- richment. The school continued to grow because new people moved into the community, and you grew along with the school. You spent eight years in this school, and now you are seniors and will soon be tak- ing your places in the adult world. What you are now is a result of your heredity, your home, your faith, and your school. You will carry on the traditions that have been instilled in you and function ac- cording to the intelligence you have assimilated. We are proud of you. It is a pleasure to be able to present a fine class of men and women to the community and to the world. This world holds great promise for you: man is embarking on space travel, and you will be a part of this wonderful venture; electronics and nucleonics are making life richer and longer; international difficulties will diminish as the futility of warfare becomes ever more apparent; world-wide abundance of the essentials of life will develop as the sources of power available through nuclear energy become limitless. Truly, man's control of his physical environment will bring forth a plethora never before envisioned. The Class of 1958 enjoys the significant position of advancing into a world filled with many opportunities, a world eager to make room for it and to absorb its members into the important functions of a changing society and a changing technology, a new way of life. Each member of the Class of 1958 has a responsibility; that responsibility is to be- come a teacher, perhaps not formally, as in a classroom, but most certainly by actions and behavior. Your teaching will spread, like the ripples of the waves when a stone is dropped into the water. Let tolerance, faith, friendliness, and understanding fill your lesson plans. You are the ambassadors for the New World. 73 nncipa BERNARD W. GORNBEIN High School Principal
