PRINCIPAL PAUL H. CRAMER JR. As the Senior Class of 1968 approaches graduation, I sincerely hope they will take the time to reflect upon their past years in school. Many forces have focused upon you to give each the opportunity for learning and growing - the policies set forth by the Ada Board of Education, the environment for learning established by the administration, and the challenges put before you by the classroom teacher. It is my desire that every student in our school develops a wise use of judgment, a flexibility of spirit, and an achievement of goal. I would want that each student feels the challenge to be a leader in tomorrow's world. Education is power - a dynamic personal force which is utilized by the people of each generation to teach what is important in their way of life to the next. In an ever-widening spiral each generation discovers exciting new resources of insight, knowledge, skills, power, and hope. Then each student is given the chance to receive the greatest challenge and to progress as high as his ability and education warrants. The future of every boy and girl in Ada High School depends upon his education. Seniors of 1968, I challenge you to face the tasks that are before you and to the best of your ability utilize the education you have received in the Ada School System. I have every confidence that you are prepared to meet whatever the future holds. MRS. JANET KLINGLER H.S. Secretary 6
