Greetings from the Superintendent 5 Mr. W. Keith Kelley, Superintendent Graduates of 1956: We commend you for the persistence and effort which completion of your training at Chilocco represents. In doing so, we must recognize also the inspiration and encourage- ment you and many graduates who have preceded you have received from L. E. Correll, retired superintendent. His influence will flourish as you join the alumni of this great school and make good use of the knowledge and skill you have acquired. Your happiness and success in meeting the problems which will confront you as you live and work in the world of today will de- pend upon you-on your enthusiasm, deter- mination, energy, and your willingness to apply those qualities to your work. We urge you to be loyal to the ideals of the school and to cherish the traditions Chil- occo has given you. We are confident you will do your part in meeting the obligations that rest on all who value the freedom we possess. We would have you choose your friends with care, use your leisure time wisely, and take pride in doing your job well. We hope you find satisfaction and happiness in meeting success- fully the challenges that come to citizens in a democracy. Our very best wishes go with you. W. Keith Kelley, Superintendent .-10.

Greetings from the Principal Mr. Leon Wall, Principal Greetings, Class of 1956: Please accept my heartiest congratulations. You have reached a very important milestone in your life. This has been attained by ability, hard work, and unswerving persistence. Many times along this high school road, you may have asked yourself, Is it worth it? Even though your answer apparently was always in the affirmative, I imagine that many times you were dubious and had difficulty in disciplining yourself to accept that answer. Now I know that you are not sorry you stuck it out . You now have that long-sought reward, a high school diploma. With this diploma you have a new title-a high school graduate. No doubt you also have many other honors gained in high school. Perhaps you take with you valuable knowledge of a skilled trade. An important instrument you have is the key to college or to more advanced training. You have accomplished much in the journey of life. You must now decide in what direction to place your accomplishments. People can advise you but the final decision is up to you. Not only must you make the decision but also you must live with this decision in years to come. You will be faced with these questions: Should I go to college? Should I take other advanced training? Should I get a job? The decision you make will be important to you every day you live. You will look back many times to your decision at this milestone, your high school graduation. My heartfelt wish is that, whatever your decision is, it will be the right one for you. My most sincere wishes go with each of you as you leave Chilocco. Leon Wall, Principal -1 1-
