PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE Today is yesterday's tomorrow. Does it not seem but yesterday that you were entering kindergarten or the first grade? Have not the last twelve years gone more quickly than you had anticipated? In a few more days the tomorrows of four hundred fifty-one seniors will begin. Your years here at Berkeley have helped prepare you for situations you will meet in later life. With the aid of your teachers you have studied valuable trades, business courses, and college preparatory subjects, all necessary in obtaining the job of your choice or in entering the college of your choice. Your success in high school will determine in no small degree how successful you will be throughout your lifetime. Such organizations as the Board of Control, the school paper, and the yearbook bring to mind the practice of freedoms of election, speech, and the press, practices which will form your attitudes toward the American way of life after graduation. The future seniors following in your footsteps, and especially the future Boards of Control, must reach for high goals in order to achieve the ideals set for them by this and other classes at BHS. As you walk through the halls of our school for the last time, keep one thing in mind—whatever you do in life, do it well; you may never have another chance. Tomorrow comes and goes before you know it! —J. Elwin LeTendre.
