'K' 1'l'.? Mrs. Dorothy McCollum Secretary Mr. Quincy A. DiYenno Principal Canon-McMillan Senior High School My challenge to you can be expressed in a single word: DRIVE. Upon this ability rests the degree or extent of your successes or failures. Within the structural and meaningful framework of the word there exists a wealth of complexities. You as an individual stand poised on the launching pad to the future. Before you can be energized, there must exist within you the fuel of desire and determination. Your struc- ture must be so firm and solid as to leave no question as to your reliability or no doubt as to your acceptance of responsibility. As the countdown approaches zero, it becomes important that you visualize with interest the path of integrity and industry on which you will be launched. Once in flight the direc- tion and course can only be guided and controlled with work, with application. The na- ture of the path to the future depends upon your valor - - - the strength of mind or spirit which enables one to encounter obstacles with firmness, your verve - aptitude and talent, your veracity - how truthful, honest, and accurate, your versatility - the ability along many lines of effort, and finally your validity - your soundness in reasoning. The attainment of your ultimate goal can only be achieved with your concerted effort. You as a class can look up and forward. You are the first class who have spent three full years with us - we can truthfully say that you are completely Canon-McMillan. To all of you may l wish for the best, to the best that's within you? Q. A. DiYenno 135

avg Miss Helen Babeii Secretary Mr. Alfred DeLucia Assistant Principal Canon-McMillan Senior High School A thankful heart is not the greatest virtue, but the parent of all other virtues. Cicero You seniors shall soon walk the last mile anxiously awaiting the culmination of twelve long years, of toil for some, yet pleasure for many. This last mile shall draw to a close the most glorious years of your lives. This shall appear more evident in the ensuing post graduate years. What is in store for you can only be measured, to a great degree, by your achievements at Canon-McMillan. The opportunity for formal education and self-improve- ment were provided-all were encouraged to avail yourselves of the many areas of worthy experiences. For this opportunity, you have much for which to be thankful-thankful for living in a democracy which provides the opportunity for equal education for all with no restrictions imposed because of aptitude, or the lack thereof, and the ability to pay. You must be thankful that your parents, by sacrifice and self-denial, have provided you with the opportunity of attending a new comprehensive high school with the finest equip- ment, thankful for the Board of Directors' untiring and unselfish devotion to meeting the needs of the youth of the district, thankful for the administrators' and teachers' kind, con- siderate and understanding of your problems and their untiring effort in preparing you adequately for the challenges of future life. As years pass by, only too rapidly, you shall be thankful for the work accomplished by the Elmanac Staff in capturing the mood of this last, most memorable school year. Re- flections on the past and browsing through the annual shall arouse nostalgic memories of the past so dear to all of you. Graduation shall sever your immediate ties with Canon-McMillan. You have fulfilled your first wish. Now make your way seeking your ultimate goal. God speed. Mr. Alfred DeLucia Assistant Principal 136
