Superintendent Alan Weiss Asst. Superintendent Milton Moore Principal Wayne McNally TO THE CLASS OF 1966: You are truly historic in nature. Each of you was bom after the con- clusion of World War II. Each of you has lived in a period of relative peace and tremendous economic growth. Depression and financial hard- ship have not been yours to contend with. Thus, peace and prosperity have been blessed upon you. You will spend your mature years living in the twenty-first century. What that era will bring is dependent upon how well your generation re- sponds to the pre-world war history and the truly great achievements that have taken place in the past twenty-one years. What contributions will you make during the next thirty-four years of this century? How each of you answers the question will determine the nature of the future for the rest of us. 1 can but humbly wish that each of you takes advantage of your herit- age, responds to the great accomplishments of this era, and contributes enough to the world so that your generation will be in the golden age of man. The necessary ingredients already exist. How you choose to use them will determine the future of mankind. Congratulations upon your graduation. I wish you every success for the future. Alan H. Weiss Superintendent of Schools SCHOOL BOARD: Mr. Neal. Mr. Lagro, Mr. Davis, Mrs. Martel. Absent - Mr. Schinoski. SOME THOUGHTS TO LIVE BY: I do not choose to become a common man. It is my right to be un- common—if I can. I seek opportunity—not security. I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and build, to fail and to succeed. I prefer to meet the challenges of life rather than accept a guaranteed existence. I will not trade beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. It is my ambition to stand erect, proud and unafraid, to think and act for myself, enjoy the benefit of my creations and to face the world boldly. This I will do with the help of God. I conceive that this is what I must do to preserve my heritage as an American citizen. Wayne W. McNally Principal
