Principal ALEX TANNAS Mercer University Duquesne University li High School is only one hurdle, and having cleared this, no doubt you feel there will be no more, but in that you ane mistaken. Life is a succession of hurdles, and anyone who settles back, satisfied with having cleared the hurdles in his path so far, is headed for failure. Each hurdle cleared makes the next one easier, and the ability to accomplish more as time goes on gives the individual more confidence, more abil- ity. Hurdles is a fascinating subiectl The more you study it, the more fascinating it becomes. Thinking of life's experience as hurdles to be cleared may simplify some of your problems. Remembering hurdles you have cleared in the past may give you courage, too, to tackle others. Looking back, realizing that you have been able to clear others, you may be fired with ambitions you had not thought possible. As you go out into the world beyond High School, may you have the ability and the courage to clear whatever hurdles life puts in your way.

uperintendent HARRY D. BERKEY Indiana State College University of Pittsburgh GRADUATES OF 1964: Youth of today stands upon the Threshold of an amaz- ing era. Events are happening so fast that it is impossible to find a label to describe the beckoning horizons. The world is moving so rapidly that yesterday's accomplishments are obsolete today and today's successes are likely to be outmoded tomorrow. The air age had become the space age, the jet age has become the missile age. Always there is a struggle to unlock closed doors. Man's inquisitive mind is ever seeking the key to the universe. Areas of knowledge are being opened that would make an Archi- medes, a Newton, or an Einstein gasp. An American whirls in orbit around the earth, the moon has become an actual target, a Nautilus charts new paths in the watery depths of the world, iet aircraft has reduced the size of the world. The mad race carries man on to new achievements before he has digested the old. Today's youth will witness spectacular devel- opments. You, the graduates, must keep on learning and preparing for tomorrow. You cannot rest upon the fact that you did learn something yesterday. This world, which so suddenly has nar- rowed into a neighborhood, presents to you the task of broad- ening it into a brotherhood.

The past has proven that doing your present work well will help to open'doors to new opportunities. Make your work reflect your faith, your ideals, and your integrity. And remember - Nothing happens until you go to work!
