Sometimes I think being able to work with other people, cooperating, liking them and respecting human dignity is more important than what we know or what we don't know. ln other words with freedom goes responsibility. This is one of the things we can learn in school. lf you learn this one lesson while in school, it will be an advantage to you later. This has been a fine school year, and may this annual serve you in later years as a reminder of those happy high school days. QQ ..- A PRINCIPAL S MESSAGE Dear Students: who are yet unborn. With wishes for your success 4 Another year has passed another class has been graduated Once more the young people of this country have received the benefits of a free school In a free land Remember that these benefits are a part of your heritage which was not gained easily and cannot be preserved without effort Yet It is your duty to guard it carefully and pass It on, In the years to come, to those CLASS OFFICERS President ......
