May you look back upon this as one of your finest years. Congratulations are in order also for the graduating Seniors. May this accomplishment be just the beginning of a successful and happy life for you. There are two thoughts I would like to leave with the entire student body. A bar of metal costing $10.00 will make the following things: 250 screwdrivers 3,250 needles 250,000 balance springs for watches The same is true of another kind of material—YOU. The value is determined by what you make of yourself. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; and with all thy getting get understanding. Prov. 4:7 Good luck to each of you. It has been a privilege to serve you. Sincerely, Roy Sallee, Supt.
