OF THE ADMINISTRATION - To tile Class of 1960, Greetings: Congratulations for having so successfully pub- lished this volume of the Tracer. Now that you have graduated, you have acquired new obligations to yourself, parents, teachers, and society in general. Will you repay yourself for your efforts and sac- rifices and expenditures of time by being true to yourself, and by maintaining high ideals of adult- hood and nobility of character? Your obligations to your parents and teachers can best be paid in the same way. Give them reason to be proud of your achievements; but your fine upright character wUl give them greater satisfaction. You are also obligated to your state and nation to serve them in every possible way, to do your part in improving them, to help solve their problems, to make them better than you found them, so that your world may be a better place to live. If you will try these things, you will have learned the purpose and value of education; and Brandywine Heights will be proud to say to you: These are my sons and daughters. Alfred H.
