The need for post high school training has never been so apparent as it is in this present day of automa- tion. As a result of technological advances, many un- skilled and semi-skilled occupations will soon cease to exist. On the other hand, many highly trained workers will be needed and the demand for scientists, engineers, and mathematicians will increase. It has been said that electronic computers can Uthink' like the human brain, whereas we know that computers have neither human will nor imagination, and that even in the age of automation all constructive thinking, inven- tions, and new discoveries will be products of able and educated minds. For those of you who are not planning to pursue formal education at a college, university, or specialized school, there are bountiful opportunities for self-im- provement and advancement right within our own community. lVlany industries offer in-service training programs for employees, numerous valuable courses are available in Adult Education Programs, and many colleges and universities are already offering televised courses for credit. I For the past four years your education has been our responsibility. However we will not feel that we have discharged one of our most important obligations un- less we have impressed upon you the need for some further training which will provide you with useful skills to enable you to reach a higher degree of personal satisfaction and security. We sincerely hope that each of you will assume his responsibility, and we feel confident that the many accomplishments of the class of 1960 are indications of your future success. Harold C. Storm, Superintendent of Schools Donald Nelson, Senior High Principal Walter R. Neidhardt, Junior High Principal Donald Nelson, Senior High School Principal, Harold C.
