Omr Director's Message to the Cast Dear Students: To be or not to be is a somewhat trite expression but one that may aptly be applied in some instances. To be or not to be a success in life depends almost wholly upon each individual. True, family fortune and prestige, breaks, circumstances, etc., all play a part, but the youth that wishes to succeed can rise above all obstacles if he has the will to be. The best place to prepare to overcome these obstacles is in high school. The first prime requisite is to obtain all of the information possible in the years spent there. Learn well that rules, other people and their wishes, tradition, and respect for authority will be a part of your life until you cease to exist. Do all things well, look your best, be courteous, kind and thoughtful of others and hesitate not to do more than is asked of you. You students of C.T.H.S. are Americans and as such are blessed with freedom the same as all other American youth. However, with your fine school grounds and buildings, educational, athletic, and music equipment, and well qualified staff of instructors, you have much more than many American youth. I have a feeling that there are times when you fail to appreciate the privileges that the local taxpayers have provided for you. There is little else more priceless than opportunity and privilege. Each of you has a full measure awaiting you with cooperative faculty members ever ready to help you make the most of each. In closing may I say it has been a real pleasure working with and for you thus far. It is my sincere hope that as the weeks grow into months we will get to know each other better and thus find even more pleasure in working together so that you may make a more useful and happy American citizen. 21
