GREETINGS The 1939 graduating class of Casey Township High School, composed of twenty-seven boys and twenty-nine girls, is reaching a second goal in the story of its educational progress. The four years in high school have passed quickly . . now that they are gone, the friendships you have formed will largely dissolve. Few will be salvaged for later years. These few friendships will be among the enduring and cherished phases of life. The many items of knowledge that have been acquired will likewise either apparently disappear or be fused into a larger unit of intelligence. The school, which is left behind, will appear in general terms only, in our consciousness in the future. Individual classmates, teachers, school duties, school pranks . . all combine to give the general background of life known as high school days. This general attitude becomes the guiding force that projects the individual who has passed through it into the next phase of life. As the closing days draw near, it is well for each member to stop to analyze, if possible, all of the forces that have gone together to produce the condition known as graduation. Each member of the class will thus find himself the resultant of a number of forces. Just as in geometry we find a given point will move in a direction and with that force which is the resultant of all forces acting upon that point. So, we as individual members of a class or any other group of society, will likewise move in such a direction as is determined by the resultant of all the forces that act upon us. In the analysis of yourself in high school can you find the forces that have been acting upon you? Can you pick the best and allow them to extend in your life so as to project you into the succeeding days in the best line of direction for you? What direction will you travel from here on? It will depend upon the forces that have gone ahead and the choices you make. Casey Township High School, its board of education, its teachers, its patrons, and friends wish for you only those future choices and forces which will direct you in the proper direction for yourself.
