C. G. Smith, Jr., Superintendent of Schools To the Class of 1964: Some seventeen years ago you came into an uneasy world. It was a world of global war, of distant conferences, of the beginning of withholding tax, and of good and gasoline rationing. Since these turbulent times, we have gone from a hot to a cold war and have entered a space age that only a few decades ago would have been unbelievable. Yes, times change, but people do not. The rules for living remain static. Those who live by the miles continue to be successful, not only in material wealth, but more signifi- cantly in their relationships with other people. What are some of these time-tested rules? First of all, there is HONESTY. We must be honest with ourselves as well as with others. We must face everyday problems realistically, and with confidence, and yet, realize our own limitations. Then there is LOYALTY. We should maintain a loyalty to our school, our employer, our church, our community and our country. Finally, there is HARD WORK. Our country was not made great by those who put forth just enough effort to wget by. lt is effort beyond the minimum demands of your teacher or your employer that turns the acceptable job into an excellent one. By following these simple rules of living you can help to carry the torch of progress through the changing years ahead. C. G. Smith, Jr.
