COPA DE ORO,1936 - George C. Bush, Superintendent To the Members of the Senior Class: I am pleased to extend to you my heartiest congratulations upon your graduation from High School. It is an accomplishment of which you and I may well be proud. Many of you will continue your education, some will enter business, industry and other vocations; but whatever you do, you will find occasional, even frequent, obstacles to your progress. May I urge upon you an optimistic attitude and an unfaltering determination to overcome every discouraging barrier to your advance. Thus you will develop strength and that Fme quality of dauntlessness so necessary to success in these trying times. Very sincerely, GEORGE C. BUSH. John E. Alman, Principal To the Members of the Senior Class: To some, the world seems topsy-turvy. Donlt let them fool you. Itls a good old world, not a great deal different than it was years ago. We are just learning to adjust ourselves to newrfound laws, to more individual thinking, and better living. Donat be slow to leave the old not slow to study the new and change when your best. reasoning tells you a change is good. In your three years of senior high school, we have endeavored to give you every experience we could to help you make your own decisions and your own adjustments. Never lay the blame on the other fellow if things go wrong, when you have refused to think things through for yourself. Every opportunity will be offered you in the world, and your success will depend on how you have prepared your- self and how you react to these opportunities. Your world will be pretty much what you yourself make it Sincerely, JOHN E. ALMAN.
