Elllllll-llUIlS TO THE CLASS OF 1939: l am very glad to have an opportunity to bring to you a message of appreciation and good wishes. Your attitude has made your four years in high school a happy experience, and it has made possible outstanding achievements. l hope you will continue to broaden your interests so that you may cover a wide field. If you make cultural, artistic, and physical progress, and if you rank high in all these lines of achievement, you will be more likely to succeed than if you are deficient in any of them. l am indebted to you for identifying yourself in a personal way with the interests of the school, with your fellow students, and in making the year of l938-39 a year of achievement in the history of our school. lt is our wish that each one of you may resolve to excel in something, to do work of a very high quality in some activity. Prove to yourself that you know what quality is and that you know how to achieve it. MARY MCKINLEY. LELIA McDONALD Mrs. Pinkerton's School Clerk MARY I. McKINLEY, Ph. B Grove City College Columbia University High School Principal
