JJrincipafs Joe Her 1964 Dear Graduates, May I take this opportunity to congratulate the Class of '64. You are ap- proaching an important milestone in your lives - high school graduation! For thirteen years you have listened to the teachers and teachers have listened to you. You have cussed and discussed teachers. You have laughed with and at teachers. You have been encouraged and admonished by teachers. For thirteen years you have eaten, studied, played, laughed, complained, worked, rode, and fought with fellow students. For thirteen years your proud parents have applauded and spanked, pleaded and praised, congratulated and threatened. Your life has, and indeed, you have been shaped these past thirteen years largely by these three forces; your school, your family, your friends. One social force, your high school, will no longer be an Important part of your life when June of 1964 rolls around. This fact will bring forth many questions: What does the future hold in store for me? What kind of job will I get? Where will it be? Should I go to college? Will I have to leave home? What should I do with my life anyway? These and many other questions will enter your mind and will demand answers and soonl On what basis will you answer? From what frame of reference will you seek a solution? Try these for size and see if they fit into your frame of mind. Before making a decision, ask yourself, Am I taking a shortsighted view of the situation, or am I being farsighted?” Am I seeking immediate pleasure or gain and sacrificing a higher and more worth while long-term goal?” Before answering any questions about the future step and look at yourself ob- jectively. What are you really? What do you like to do? What do you do well? When reaching any decision remember, To thine own self be true.” What you wear, what you say, what you do, will be to impress somebody since you will be under observation. While you are doing all this impressing, remember also to impress your better self. Don’t decide on something merely because your best friend decided to do it. Remember that really great people do not have time to rate with the crowd. May our world be a better place because of you. HAROLD L. TUCKER
