Because many of you are looking forward to college, we have endeavored to orient you and acquaint you with the factors essential to the selection of your college and the preparation necessary for your adjustment in the transfer from high school to college. For those of you who are not attending college your high school experiences should have made life more meaningful and should aid you in the future to live a richer, fuller life. We trust, also, that this good educational background will help you to adjust yourselves successfully in your chosen vocation and to make of you an effective citizen in your community.

We hope that you have made great strides ahead in the building of your character, and that the influence of your high school will hold a definite place in your future life. The good wishes of your administration and teaching staffs go with you as you leave. lt is our hope that in future years you will look back with pride and satisfaction to the days vou spent in your classes and in the varied activities at Clover Park.
