Dedication This year we are dedicating our annual to a well known man, who graduated from Chilton and is now a very successful scientist. His name is Professor Harry Steenbock. Professor Steenbock is now retired, but he has a laboratory at the University of Wisconsin as long as he wants to use it. When Professor Harry Steenbock of the University of Wisconsin discovered a process of investing foods with the properties of ultra-violet rays, or Vitamin D, without affecting the taste, he could have become a millionaire. However, he refused to patent the process in his own name. The wise professor renounced all personal profit from the discovery and assigned it to a trust, the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, in order that the proceeds might go to further scientific research. When he was asked why he gave away a fortune, he refused, at first, to answer. On being pressed he said, The money would do me little, if any, good. What use is money personally to an individual if he receives enough to provide for the reasonable needs of himself and his family? During the years, many outstanding contributions to human knowledge and health have been made by Wisconsin biochemists. They include the discovery by Harry Steenbock that ultra-violet irradiation will increase the Vitamin D content of milk and the discovery of Conrad A. Harry Steenbock trapped the sun by discovering an inexpensive method for the artificial irradiation of foodstuffs to create Vitamin D--the sunshine vitamin. With this discovery he enabled mankind to end the great scourge of rickets and make the arms and legs of children throughout the world straight and strong, keep their backs erect, and their bones and teeth healthy and normal. Back in 1950 a poll was taken in our state to give the people an opportunity to name the ten greatest living Wisconsin residents. Harry Steenbock was named by the people to that honored list--the only University of Wisconsin staff member to be chosen. More than money and fame has come to Dr. Steenbock. He has honorary degrees from his alma mater, from Lawrence College. Yale University, and the University of Berlin. In 1931 he was official delegate of the U.S. at the International Conference on Vitamin Standardization. In 1940 the National Association of Manufacturers honored Dr. Steenbock for his work in creating jobs and improving the American standard of living. No doubt the good professor found, as we too might find, that life’s deepest satisfactions come in giving and in serving, not in getting and in bei ng served.

You, as a member of the graduating class of 1964, will soon be passing an important milestone in your life. From your comparatively sheltered and protected existence you will emerge into a world where you must become self-sufficient and independent. You will be called upon to solve problems and make wise decisions involving not only yourself personally but the society in which you live. This will require the utmost knowledge, imagination, courage, faith and determination. Whether you continue your formal education or not, you must strive to improve your general proficiency. Of even greater importance is to develop ethical, spiritual and moral values so necessary to meet the challenge of the future. It is your duty and obligation to make the most of your talents and abilities so that you may make your contribution to freedom, human welfare and good government. If our great nation is to endure and thrive it can only be on the basis of convictions and beliefs so strong that they lift us right out of ourselves and cause us to live for some purpose nobler and better than ourselves. It is my hope that during the past four years we may have helped lay the foundation for your continued intellectual and ethical growth and development. Best wishes and good luck. A famous man once said, No true success is ever enjoyed without sacrifice and effort. What costs nothing amounts to nothing. Teachers are continually searching for ways to encourage more of their students to make more sacrifice and effort in order that their education will be more successful. Too many students are content merely to use a minimum amount of effort to earn a diploma. A diploma is only a piece of paper and if it costs nothing in the way of effort and sacrifice, that is what it is worth. More students should be aware of the fact that learning is an active process. Growth and development of any skills take place only when they are exercised. Letting teachers or classmates do all the hard work is the best way to make certain that the education which costs little in effort and sacrifice is worth very little. Principal, E. J. Anderson Superintendent, A W. Gordon - 4 -
