WE SING THY PRAISES To the Class ot 1949: Were 1 to write something spectacular in this space, someone would read it and the attention of a thousand others would be called to it. Qualified only to write in the realm ot the commonplace, I can do no more than sincerely wish that every member of the class of 1949 attain stature in character and influence for goody and that no one of you will bring discredit to the name and glory of Collingswood High School.

With best wishes for your suc- cess and happiness, 1 am sincerely, Carl M. Dietenbach Pictured below is Mr. Carl M. Dieienbach. Super- vising Principal of Collingswood schools. n To the Class of 1949: Congratulations to you, young men and women ot the graduating class from Collings- wood High School, Iune, 1949. The values ot your high school training will not be ap- preciated until the benefits begin to be realized. Some benefits which should evolve are the power to think, the ability to earn your daily bread, to get along with people, to make good use of leisure time, to give proper attention to your health, and to par- ticipate in community activities. Graduation from high school is just the beginning ot your training for a full realiza- tion ot the above mentioned benefits. Unless you make plans, and tollow them through, you will fall short of the goal which is neces- sary to bring the full harvest to yourself and those depending upon your training. May many good things reward your ef- forts. Percy S. Eichelberger .5., E A --. i -1'-ro, f ws Shown above is Mr. Percy S. Eichelberger, Prin cipul of Collingswood Senior High School.

There is profound truth here, however trite the words. Twelve years of public schooling is but the beginning of the preparation you will need to face an uncertain and unpredictable future. lf in those years you have used but sparingly the opportunities offered, it is time you realized that the world owes no man a living. Furthermore, real success and hap- piness are earned not found. They are earned by hard work, by ability and readi- ness to assume responsibility and by the willingness to serve. I congratulate you on the satisfactory completions of your high school career. I would have you remember as you move on that all things excellent are as difficult as they are rare. May God bless you! Richard L. Currier
