MR. RALPH N. McSHERRY Principal University of Pennsylvania Bachelor of Science Degree Temple University Master of Education Degree Teaching Subject: Guidance To live a worthwhile life is never easy. To conquer oneself, to win spiritual victory, to maintain courage and cheer in the face of dis- appointment, discouragement, and danger is not without difficulty. You must shun deceit- ful short-cuts to your goals, a means of quick progress without persistent effort. Being hu- man, you are particularly prone to expect that some proclaimed panacea will relieve you of the responsibility for clear thinking and hard labor. The road that you have trav- eled is marked by discarded signboards bear- ing slogans that promised high hopes but fail- ed to stimulate the continuing activity that might have accelerated your progress. A con stant look into the heavens and a heart com- panionship with our God will offer you the highest hopes and will help you daily to get the true values of life. By so doing, you will bring yourself to a destination of worth. During your six years in Dallastown High School, the many successful and meritorius projects you have sponsored is specific evi- dence of your will to do the best with what you have. Your sincere faith in your school and its educational procedures, your loyal support of its extra-curricular activities, your tireless efforts and patronage in raising funds for the new gymnasium, and your greatest endeavor, the 1950 Spectator, are symbolic of your will to do. For these symbols we are indeed grateful. Those who have attempted to guide you through the processes of education will eager- ly await your success in a world that demands the exercise of keen intelligence and coura- geous endeavor. Members of the Class of 1950: The processes of education are complex and their results differ. No two of your mem- bers have progressed at the same rate; there- fore that which you have to work with will vary according to your innate ability and your educational achievement. However, as members of a growing community and an analytical world, you should choose to use the powers and knowledge you have developed to do your best for the good of humanity and for a worthwhile life. This is no easy task. To do good for humanity you must have a faith in the masses of people, faith in their capacity to develop their own criteria of truth and value, faith in their ability to govern themselves, faith in their sincerity, their al- truism and their capacity for growth. In the presence of a faith such as this you take on a dignity and an importance. Such an attitude causes parents to have faith in their children, teachers to have faith in their pupils, govern- ments to have faith in their citizens, and na- tions to have faith in each other. 9
