Siuiperintendlentis Message To THE CHENEY HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 1936: You as Seniors are about to pass another milestone on life's journey. You are about to change from an environment in which you have become adjusted-one in which you have established yourself and Worked happily in cooperation with your fellows-into an environment which will be made up of new persons and strange situations. The shock caused by leaving high schol for other fields is due more to emotional disturbance than to physical change. It is true that your activities Will be carried on With new surroundings and in touch with different people, but you will move ahead according to the thought habits, attitudes, ideals, and skills that you have been developed since childhood. You have the foundation laid for continued success and happiness. I am sure that your life can be serviceable and harmonious if you live ac- cording to the rules and plans which you know to be the best. It takes courage, energy, and intelligence to do things Worth While. But you need not be afraid. I believe that you have What It Takes. -C. J. COOIL, Superintendent
