Morgan, Harry E PRINCIPAL S MESSAGE On fu-st thought lt seems strange that the day upon wh1ch we lay down for ever our hlgh school work and sever many of our h1gh school assoclatlons should be deslgnated as commencement But just as the end of one day IS the beglnnmg of another so the end of our h1gh school days marks the commencement of a new chapter ln our llves To some th1s means the commencement of hlgher educatlonal work to others the begmmng of a buslness 11fe or home cares You w111 face many problems that you never dreamed of but wlth the preparatxon that you have re celved we are lndeed confldent that you W111 11ve up to our hlghest expectatlons The better we are prepared to meet these problems of l1fe the greater our success w111 be We must flght the battles of 11fe wlth undaunted courage and ours shall be the reward The world cannot see our dreams cannot feel our thr111s cannot 11ve our 11ves but let us say hke Paul that 'we have fought a good f1ght we have f1n1shed the course and we have kept the fa1th .
