NEWPORT NEWS PUBLIC SCHOOLS HUNTINGTON HIGH SCHOOL W. D. SCALES, PRINCIPAL 3401 ORCUTT AVENUE NEWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA Dear Seniors: Few joys are greater to me than extending felicitation to you on your graduation day. The pleasures experienced today are not yours alone, for they are shared by all of those who gave you love and counsel. It is most urgent that you formulate dynamic decisions as to what you purport to accomplish in life in order that your efforts will be constantly related towards the realization of those goals. Seek to avoid the wasted years common to those who refuse to establish aims that give their lives meaning and direction. Automation has already so influenced the world of work that it is not unreasonable to forecast that many of you may ultimately earn your livelihood plying some trade or profession presently unknown to man. However, unprecedented employment opportu- nities are available to you. New doors are constantly opening and the loud clear call for the competent can be heard through- out the land. Dedicate yourself to the pursuit of some discipline demanded by the markets of the world. The lack of appreciation and understanding of the various cul- tures of the world has created serious tensions throughout the Universe. There is little esteem for the common virtues that constituted the foundation of our country's greatness. Avarice, sensuality, prejudice, and lack of respect for human dignity are rampant in the land. You and thousands of other graduates who will receive their diplomas this year must accept the task of promoting higher moral standards and social justice. We trust you will remember with kindness those who labored to assist you in becoming responsible citizens. VOUT Smet OU IV. a2 Scales, Principal
