A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL: Another day, another year, and I have the opportunity again of saying something to you students and faculty at Albany High School. Each year it seems to me that I have a problem to keep from saying the same old things to you, but it is really hard to keep from doing this because I still feel that Albany High School is the greatest. I sincerely feel that the spirit of its students, the dedication of its teachers and the perseverance of the administration and other staff members to develop and maintain the type of program that it takes to make a first class high school still exists at Albany High School. Our building, our facilities, our curriculum, are geared to the development of a program of studies which will enable us to meet the educational needs of youth of all levels of ability. I feel that we have the know-how, and that if we could get the desire and cooperation of students to achieve, then I think that we would be well on our way to doing the job which we would like to do for all students. We have not been so successful in our athletic activities as we would like to have been; nor have we achieved all we have desired to achieve in the academic area. Yet, I feel that school loyalty and school pride have probably been stronger than they have been in many years. It is my sincere wish that each ot us — students and teachers alike — may again find through the pages of our yearbook many happy memories that shall linger with us. I am sure that the Annual staff and Advisors have-done all in their power to make this a reality. To the seniors of ’68-’69, Congratulations and “God Speed” in your chosen fields of service. I am confident that the great majority of you will go on to make us proud of you. Sincerely, Harold E. McNabb MR. HAROLD E. McNABB Principal of Albany High School and Director of High Schools 21

MR GRAYDON PIERCE Executive Assistant Principal THE ONLY GOOD PREPARATION FOR TOMORROW IS THE RIGHT USE OF TODAY.” It seems to me that the above quotation from an unknown author would be a fitting and appropriate thought to send you seniors out into the world. This can be used as a daily reminder of the fact that we live only one day at a time, and each tomorrow will be only as happy as we make it today. Those of you who have done your work well are looking toward graduation with great anticipation. Those of you who have not used your time well may be looking upon it with some fear and dread. Only you can do your work and prepare for happy tomorrows. My congratulations to the Class of 1969! It is my sincere wish for each of you that you shall have made proper preparation and that you will find in the pages of your Yearbook many pleasant memories of your days spent at A.H.S. The advisors and Staff have worked long and hard to give us this keepsake of these important days. As I congratulate you. I would also admonish you to keep ever before you high ideals, lofty ambitions and an abiding faith in your own possibilities. Make an effort to be the kind of person your parents want you to be — a happy person, because you have succeeded to some degree each day in achieving some worthwhile goals. Sincerely, 22
