Valedictoria MARY ANN PRICE 1959 VALEDICTORIAN ln iust a few moments we will be official graduates of Chardon High School. As we become alumni we can look back on four wonderful years of work, fun, and growing up. We also look forward to the future, where we must put to good use those things which we have learned in order to succeed. l heard a quotation from Fulton J. Sheen's book, Life ls Worth Living, that l would like to pass on to all of you. He has this to say about living your life: 'If you walk facing the sun, all your shadows will fall behind you, it is only when you turn your back to the sun that your pathway is darkened.' l think this is good advice for all of us, not only for us who graduate, but also for you, our parents and friends, and for those of you who will remain behind us in school. If each of us will make God our sun, and if we will strive always to walk facing this Sun, then your lives should be filled with the bright lights of happiness and success. A final word to my classmates-leave Chardon High School with the knowledge that you possess the tools with which to be a success, it is up to you to select the right tool for the right iob. Good luck, and God bless you. n Speaks For Class ol i959

In Memoriam Chardon High School pays tribute to the memory of Richard Durai. Dick, who was a member of the 1960 grad- uating class, lost his life in a tragic swimming accident dur- ing the summer of 1959. He was a young man of deep conviction and steadfast determination. His faith in his own ability drove him to high achievement despite any obstacle. Sickness during his earlier youth made athletic prowess unlikely, but Dick's burning desire and refusal to surrender to the odds against him gained for him a place on the track team. The same qualities would, in all likelihood, have put him on the football squad in his senior year. Dick's ability to set his sights on a definite goal made him the champion magazine salesman during his iunior year and gave him a coveted role in the iunior play. Yet he had also the rare ability to share a laugh at his own expense. Our lives are richer for his having passed our way.
