PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE TO SENIORS MR. HOWARD J. SHEEN Members of the class of 1944: You are drawing near to the end of the first phase of your education. To many of you the past twelve years in school Will be the plreparation needed for the next four more in higher institutions of your c oice. To many of you going into the armed services of the govern- ment it will be the foundation upon which you will build your armed service education, You will find that the basic education that you have received will aid you a great deal in the various specialized programs developed by the armed services. Many of you will use it as a base for aviation training, nurse training, mechanical training and the many other types that the government need. It is hoped that your education has been of such nature that it will aid you in accomplishing these goals. To many of you in the commercial and industrial courses, it will mean going to work after graduation and earning your livelihood. The courses that you have taken in school will provide a back ground to that end. It is my sincere hope that your education has been of such nature that it will greatly aid you in becoming better men and Women and better citizens in this wonderful country of ours. You must remember that your education, as such, never ceases. Your education will continue as long as you live and you can add a great deal to it as the years go by, by applying the principles that you have learned during your first twelve years in school. I wish to extend my congratulations to the members of the Corrian staff and its advisors for the splendid year book that they have published and I hope that the students will find in it a valuable source of reference in future years.

SUPERINTENDENTS MESSAGE TO SENIORS MR. RALPH S. DEWEY Members of the Senior Class: The priviledge to attend and be graduated from a free public school in the United States is one of the cherished rights of all children in our beloved nation. As long as schools continue to teach pupils How to think and What not to think a spirit of democracy will prevail over any form of dictatorship. The arms of dictation may lengthen in time of conflict but their hands must not be allowed to reach too far or for too long a time. Many of your members have already, or will soon be called upon to engage in the conflict to ward off those who would destroy our democratic ways of life. Others will play their part in future study or in commercial, industrial, or domestic service. All of these Ways of serving are important. It is not Where you serve but how you serve that will bring the most satisfaction not only to you, but to your home, your school and to your country. My hope for each of you is that you may find health, peace. and happiness in Whatever walk of life you may decide to follow. p Sincerely, Ralph S. Dewey 4
