Greetings, Seniors: I envy you! You can be part of the most rapid change in man's relationship to man that has ever been known. The age you live in will be exciting. The world of work in undergoing a revolution. The frontiers of thought and the spheres of operation of individuals and of our nation are ever becoming wider, and you will be part of it! Thus, your life can be exciting or frustration, frightening or exhilarating. Which it will be depends on you! Your happi- ness, your material wealth--also depends on you. What YOU are and will become is dependent upon your ability and willingness to grow intellectuall , emotionall and spiritually. Y Y This your parents and teachers are helping you to do. Have you helped them? This is your last year in high school but other teachers will follow--college instructors, parents and friends. Will you cooperate with them? You are the first graduating class from this high school. Our prayer is that you will always be first--first in showing friendship, first in demonstrating compassion, first in pushing wider the barriers to understanding. Our hopes ride with you. Glenn C.

f ' To the Class of 1961: As we move into the age of space and science much is being said and written about education, particularly at the secondary level. The public is becoming increasingly concerned about the quality and quantity of learning, and new and evermore numerous tests, criteria, and standards are being devised to measure the ef- fectiveness of education. Thus, it is perhaps in order to inquire, What is a high school? Surely it is not a mere building, for a high school building during a vacation period is purposeless. Some may suggest that a high school should be judged by its faculty. However, a faculty, even though composed of distinguished scholars, cannot make a high school. Is it then the students? Although requisite to any school, students alone are not enough. There are two answers that might be made to the question. A high school is a community of adults and young people who, whether administrators, faculty members, students, parents, or interested citizens, have partaken in the attainment of common goals and ideals. The second answer may be that a high school is that spirit of scholarly endeavor expressed by the common ideals of the community. Therefore, what Beachwood High School is today and what it becomes in the future depends, at least in part, upon each of you. The spirit of fair play, of intellectual seeking, of brotherly kindness which may have been fostered here will go with you wherever you may go. In this spirit our high school will be reflected. As members of the first graduating class you have had a prize' responsibility in the development of traditions, attitudes, and school spirit. As our first alumni your responsibility for reflecting the spirit of Beachwood High School in the community-at-large will be continuous. Clark M . Fouts Principal 14
