Administrative June, 198$ Dur Seniors, My graduation message to you is very simple, ’You Can Do It Easily I Whatever you need to do, no natter how difficult or demanding or challenging, you can do it — easily! You can have wisdom Strength, poise, guidance, assurance — anything you need at any moment and under any circumstance. How? You have the very ability within you as you own personal birthright and heritage. Because of and through this ability in you, you can do anything you need, want, or desire to — easily! Take a few minutes right now to be still and know this for yourself. Relax physically, emotionally, mentally. As you let this idoa take hold in your consciousness, you will find yourself more adequate, confident, and assured than you had thought possible. Instead of thinking and saying, ’What if I can’t?’ or ■What if it doesn't work?’ or ’What if something happens?’ you will be using the power of the ’Spirit’ in you to successfully meet whatever challenge or difficulty that you must face. In closing , let me leave this thought with you... Ke need not go along with unhappy conditions, believing that we have no choice in the matter. Always we have a choice, always it is our power to change the pattern of our life. There is nothing you cannot accomplish, no goal that can't be attained, if you have abundant energy, joyous enthusiasm, faith in yourself, and most inmportant of all prepared yourself accordingly.• ■Remember----You Can Do It Easily! Peace and Prosperity, Nathaniel L. Potts Principal MR. NATHANIEL L. POTTS. PRINCIPAL Mr. Potts giving the seniors his annual speech. 20 Mr. Potts, our dear Principal, who we will miss dearly.
