DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT, FIRST DISTRICT, OTSEGO COUNTY We are living in a time of appalling confusion. Our Belief in the rights and dignity of the individual, our love of freedom and our zeal for peace is under attack. The school must help youth to understand and to respect the wisdom of their forebearers. They believed that there can be no reward with- out quest, no skill without countless trials and no security without sacrifice. They lived the spirit of liberty. It is our duty in education to preserve and to interpret our priceless American Heritage for our students of to-day if future generations are to live in peace and as free men in the world of to-morrow. -Nathan C. Southworth Board of Education Mrs. Josephine Graves Dr. William B.

C. Deane Sinclair, Supervising Principal THE PRINCIPAL CHERISH YOUR HERITAGE Much has been said and written about the heritage that is ours in Historic Cherry Valley . Of that we are justly proud. In our school much has been accomplished. Much is being planned. What more then, is needed? Are you making the most of your oppor- tunities? Are you making the greatest possible use of your teachers? Are you develop- ing in that trait called character that is found in your associations, rather than in textbooks? Will you be a future citizen well qualified to meet the problems of the pre- sent day world? In this day when so many seem to have a warped view on life, can you distinguish between what is right and what is wrong? Can you discipline yourself; be expected to behave properly when not under direct supervision? Can you be relied on to do what you say you will do at the time you say you will do it? Are you con- siderate, cheerful, pleasant? What heritage wil I you leave? Yes, by all means Cher- ish Your Heritage but keep your eyes on the future. -C. Deane Sinclair
