A Message from the Principal To the Class of 1947 — Congratulations and Best Wishes I know that you will not take these congratulations and hest wishes too lightly. Webster defines congratulations as the act of expressing sympathetic pleasure on account of some happy event.” Truly, graduation from high school is an important and happy event for each one of you. It signifies an achievement of which you may he proud, and an accomplishment whose value you will appreciate more fully as you grow older. During the time of youth there is a tendency to take the American Way of Life and its freedoms for granted — things like a public high school education, the right to be able to pick your own work, to be able to sound off when things aren’t suitable to your own viewpoint, to be able to pursue the things that make you happy. The fact that you are able to take all of these things for granted speaks well for our great democracy. It means that our democracy and our freedoms have never really been threatened or interfered with through wars on our own soil, or disastrous political upheavals or any other kinds of radical changes that have happened in so many other countries of the world. As high school graduates, your achievements have labeled you as intelligent, capable citizens ready to assume your duties and responsibilities. Part of your task will be the job of maintaining the heritage which is also the right of youth who follow you. I feel certain that, as a result of your efforts and achievements in life, following generations of young people will be able to continue to take for granted our American Way of Life. Never forget that you are Americans, and work together to further the ideals that have been handed down to you.
