Bridgton High School - Corona Yearbook (Bridgton, ME)

Page 7 text:

The hopes and dreams of youth will one day turn into reality only with the determined application of the skills, knowledge, and desirable attitudes gained through proper guidance from the home, school, church, and community. Graduation from school is that threshold you must all cross to start building the life framework which, we all hope, leads to fulfillment of youthful desires. We, the faculty, heartily wish you one and all the suc- cess you deserve. Passing from school does not, however, mean a closed door behind you, and your new experiences should not take you so far away in mind or matter that you will not return as devoted Alumni to help those you leave behind build toward desirable learning and fellowship. The ideals for which we stand must continue in your own hearts and be imparted to those future graduates. Congratulations on your accomplishments, and good luck to you allt 3 Clifford P. Tinkham Principal

I am very happy to have the privilege of addressing you. When you first started your education, twelve years must have seemed an eternity to you. However, the years flew by, and you soon found yourself in the freshman class. So, smiling, but shy, you entered the sophomore class, where you were always asking, Why? As juniors, to and fro you were darting, but as seniors you sorrow at departing. Now, you are wondering why the twelve years went so fast. But, here you are, and life you must face. Choose your goal, and strive to achieve it. Your education serves as an excellent background in helping you to attain your goal. Whether you are entering life's work, a profession, or higher education, always seek more knowledge. It will take time to attain this longed for goal; it cannot be reached over night. However, when you have reached it, you will have realized that the struggle and en- during patience were well worth it. In closing, may I say that Bridgton High School is always open to you. Members of the faculty are always willing to confer with you. So, as you become alumni, I hope your memories of school days are happy ones, and I wish you all a very prosperous future. Carl W. Bowers, Superintendent of Schools 4
