In appreciation of Nina’s help and guidance to all students, from the renting of our books to the signing of our blue slips, we would like to say “Thank you!” MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF 1971 Class of’71, your teachers have worked to prepare you, to cause you to be curious, inquiring, concerned, and to encourage each of you to take some worthy objective so that the stream of life may be richer because you have lived. There are many outstanding students in this year’s graduating class who should continue to achieve at high levels in their chosen fields. It is important that all class members realize that great benefits to humanity do not only come from persons with extraordinary ability but often from persons with ordinary ability and extraordinary effort and persistence.

Alest Assured” “Rest Assured,” a comedy in three acts by Donald Payton, was presented on November 20th at 8:00 P.M. by the Junior Class. This comedy was a very entertaining play about a feud between an old miser, who refuses to let his daughter marry, and the boyfriend’s father, who insists the young couple get married. The cast gave a very convincing presentation of the play despite some minor problems. Mr. Robert Wilson produced and directed the play. Stage Crew: Seated: Sue Stone, Helen Talbot, Nancy DeKeyser.
