YOUTH FACES THE WORLD Class of 1953 the world lies at your feet. It is up to you to choose the fields, green or brown, in which you will live. It is up to you to pursue lifes rocky road alone. I hope that your experiences at the Ashland Comnnunity High School will help each of you to pass each of the many obstacales which you will encoun- ter along this road. Many of you will not continue your quest of knowledge, but will seek a place in life that is sat- isfying to you. Others of you have high- er aspirations and will go on to greater triumphs. Your outlook on life has much to do with your ultimate happiness, success or failure. Have courage, face facts and be realistic in this outlook on life. Remember that success does not come knocking at one's door. One must seek out success. Success is the achievement of happiness. In order to achieve happiness one must have a pur- pose in life. Find this purpose. Your purpose will be governed by your am- bition, and how easily this ambition is satisfied. Never falter for a moment along the road of life. Always seek greener pastures until you are sure you have found your purpose in life. In going out into the world you must accept the privileges and duties thrust upon you by the democratic society in which you live. You must serve this society as public officials and as social workers. Serve it well, honestly and intelligently. Have compassion upon your fellowmen and always be the good neighbor. Class of 1953 you have left your mark upon the Ashland Community High School. Many of your members have compiled outstanding records in aca- demic subjects, athletics, dramatics and other school activities. Let me see you leave a Comparable record upon the world in which you will reside. Wayne S. Porter Principal 4
