To The Seniors Of 1959: We congratulate you, the class of 1959, one hundred ninety strong! It has been my very happy privilege and pleasure to have worked with you through the past years, hence, have learned to know you well. Many of you are very well prepared to go on to college, and it is my sincere wish that you do so. Your world almost demands that you be well trained if you expect to accomplish much. We hope that you may keep in touch with us after your graduation, and that we may still be of some service and help to you in the future. You are going to get out of life just about what you put into it. Best of luck to each one of you. Sincerely, B. E. Gum, Supt. BEG:EDK
