PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE The class of 1948 is to be congratulated for having achieved a spirit of unity and cooperation. You have truly been a class of dem- ocratic action. Your many class decisions have been made after all the facts have been considered, all the various views expressed and action taken. You have been willing to abide by the will of the majority. This is truly the democratic and American way of life. This class has been one of dependability and loyalty. You have been a group filled with high ideals and the determination to attain those ideals in the proper manner; hard work and persistence. You are completing your high school career at a time when our people need to have the true values of our civilization and our American way of life re-emphasized. The things which have made this country great are the worth of the individual, honest work and the great liberties found in our Bill of Rights. It will be your great opportunity to revitalize these great virtues of our nation. With our great liberties and opportunities there are an equal num- ber of duties and responsibilities. Let us never forget, that with every privilege and right there is a corresponding duty and respon- sibility. Sometimes, we are prone to place too much emphasis upon our rights without the full realization of the fact that we are not worthy of rights and privileges, unless we are willing to assume the duties and responsibilities which make our rights effective. It is my earnest hope that you will carry with you from this school high ideals of service for God and your fellowman. Duty is the Sublimest Word in the English Language William J. Barefoot, Principal
