Principalls Message Members of the class of 1960, the privilege of ex- tending greetings to you is an experience that affords me great joy. I share the pleasure that must be yours and those dear to you because of the completion of your secondary education. At the time of your graduation, greater emphasis is being placed upon education than in any previous period in our history. The level of general education has risen so much since you were born that mediocrity will soon evidence a degree of training that years ago would mark one as a well-educated person. Recent explosive scientific achievements have created new products and new jobs, thereby creating a demand for the acquisition of new skills and tech- niques. It is reasonable to assume that some of you may earn your living in a trade or profession that was non-existent at the time you entered high school. These amazing advancements should constitute a re- freshing challenge to the youth of today,s world. Join forces with those who are seeking new metholds, new goals, and new truths. The years that are yours afford the time to ade- quately prepare yourselves for some form of gainful occupation. Decide to give the time and labor that 'TBack of the job a the dimmer true? W. D. Scales, Principal competency demands, for industry is an inescapable ingredient of the recipe of success. Your fulfilhnent cannot be realized from the pur- suits of the sciences and arts alone. Time has vindi- cated the wisdom of extending brotherly affection, one towards another. Seek to know the manifest power that lies in service, the courage associated with meekness, and the bravery to be found in humility. Remember with kindly affection those whose pleas- ures have been few because of the sacrifice and con- cern they have given to your upbringing. Your present status is due not so much to your own merit, as to those who have sustained and guided you through the years. Vast though the sum total of manis knowledge may be, many facets of the unknown continue to defy successful research. The Administration and Staff of your school have attempted to ignite your lamp of learning, and we hereby charge you to carry your light so that those who follow may better see. We have no valedictory for you. A thousand to- morrows will serve only to heighten our interest in knowing that you are still dynamically determined to fathom more.
