Spring . lUr t Virginia 83 CONCORD AVENUE rintipal 4 -US0JV Rider sfistant f rincipai TO OUR GRADUATES OF 1956 The master of ceremonies on a current television quia show says to the contestants who have successfully negotiated the first important hurdle, You have reached the first plateau, will you stop or will you go on toward the final priae? Now each of you, as high school graduates, has reached your first and greatest educational plateau and you cannot lose what you have gained thus far. Congratulations for this accomplishment. It is by no means insignificant, as you'll find when a potential employer asks you whether or not you have received your high school diploma. As to your future, you may choose to continue your education in a college or university and thereby gain greater proficiency in some selected field of endeavor; or possibly you may choose to obtain a position for immediate earning and perhaps attend night school for advancement; or perhaps you will offer your service to your country and learn, earn, and serve at the same time in some branch of our nation's armed services. In whatever direction your planning takes you, remember our heartfelt wishes, prayers, and concern go with you. You are, to a considerable degree, our handiwork. We and all of your in- structors earnestly hope that you will successfully complete all assignments and tests that life will inevitably present to you. Our parting challenge to you as we reluctantly bid you fare well is to do right and do your best. Best wishes and good luck. ' Sincerely, Linn Sheets, Principal A. P. Rider, Assistant Principal
