Every now and then, a summing-up of our lives serves a useful purpose. It has been twelve years since you entered school. During those twelve years you may not have realized the importance of your work in elementary school and high school and its bearing on your future. The outstanding problem in your schooling was one of adjustment to the demand of the teachers who were preparing you for a place in society. The problem in the elementary grades were different from those in high school where you had to begin to face the problems as an adult. You didn't realize it, but it was one of the greatest lessons you had to learn. When you were a child most of the problems were solved for you. In high school you were gradually treated as an adult and the problem of getting along with people became greater. You had to choose your vocation or college and your attitude toward society-the right or wrong of thoughts and actions. All these were placed in your hands and no longer will teachers be able to answer your question, What am I to do? The question will be, What do you think I should do? You will be treated as an individual and not one of a group as in school. The more you learned, the more obvious it became that the world is composed of two factors, problems and solutions. The only way to progress is to solve the problems as they arise. Do this and success is assured. Solution means ideas, and the getting of ideas is a study that should be your life-long pursuit. It took you a long time to learn from your teachers the problems, and the solution of the problems was one of the main reasons for your being in school. It can't be grafted from one person to another. The individual must go through the whole cycle himself before he gains the valuable experience-like the butterfly which never missed a stage from caterpillar to cocoon to butterfly. The problem makes us attentive and observantfor should. The solution to the problems were taught in high school. True, some were different from others and some were very puzzling. Our society is geared to speed - for good or bad, and those who succeed in it solve problems quickly and well. Remember, our world wasn't evolved-it was solved. The streets, the automobiles, the buildings, the wiring-all of them, at one time, presented a problem. Many were tackled and solved by a person like yourself just out of high school. This process will be going on for you, your children and grandchildren-'but if you want to feel the thrillof achievement, solve your problems and watch the world and you grow, , C. CLINTON RUBY Supervising Principal C. CLINTON RUBY WILLIAM N. CRALEY Your years here at Central High have been full of the things that make life worth living.

I wish you the best the world has to offer of health, wealth, and happiness. William N. Craley Principal 10
