As the doors of your high school close behind you and you find yourself overwhelmed by the vastness and uncertainty of the future, just as the paratrooper making his first jump onto enemy territory has for his immediate goal the ground, and the little bird being thrust from its nest by its parents has for its immediate goal the sky, you have as yours, a career. All three of you have the ultimate goals of success and survival. The paratrooper proceeds cautiously, always aware of everything around him, retracing his steps, sometimes lying motionless, sometimes crawling and sometimes running. He is prepared through long hours of training and practice to endure every hardship, to overcome every obstacle. The Tittle bird tries its wings, flutters to the ground and tries again. At last successful it soars into the sky only to find that it must be ever alert to the shifting winds and sneak attacks by birds of prey. You the graduates of 1961 will soon learn that the road to success is rarely smooth. For twelve years we have tried to prepare you for it. You have learned to read, to write, to reason, to appreciate the arts, to guard your health and to get along with others. These are your tools; now it is up to you to start using them. Don’t be afraid if you have made a mistake in the choice of your career to turn back and start anew. Don’t give up when the first obstacle presents itself. The grass on the other side of the fence always looks greener, but you will never find out if it is unless you climb over the fence. Never stop learning. You don’t have to go to college to do this. Read, think, be ever mindful of the beauty around you, be understanding of others, love your country, live well, be a good citizen worthy of the respect of your fellow men. Whatever you choose as your occupation give it the best you have in you and be proud of it. These are my parting words to the class of 1961--May you leave the world better than you found it.
