Shenk 8.A.—Dickinson College M.A.—Gettysburg College D.Ed.— Pennsylvania State University Any particular moment of time divides the past from the future. Some such moments become highly significant. The hour of mid- night on December thirty-one is the moment of time when, in writing a date, we must change from one number to another. The moment of the Birth of Christ is so significant that time is reckoned by it, so that today, we say 1958 B. C. or 1958 A. D. Now, what about the moment when you are declared a graduate of Dallas- town Area High School? It, too, carries great significance. Among other things, one change that will take place is your relationship to the Public School System. Until that moment you will be freed of any control it has had over you. And, in a few years when you become twenty-one, you will au- tomatically become a shareholder in the biggest business in the county—Public School Education. As such, you will have the responsibility of keep- ing yourselves informed as to its soundness and serving its needs when called upon. Don't fail in this responsibility! 9

His fellow officers: George Goodling, vice-president; Norman Sher- meyer, secretary; and Russel McMillan, treasurer; have also shown their inter- est in the students' welfare by working to advance the plans for the new build- ing. During the past year changes have been made in the Beard. A few new members have been added and some others relieved of their duties by elec- tion. As respected and busy members of our community, they have used their time to be of assistance to us. It has been said that the tallest man is one who stoops to help a child—this we believe is very true in this case. 8

. . . Mr. McSherry, Mr. Trout. . . McSHERRY, RALPH N. 8.S.—West Chester State Teachers College M.Ed.—University of Pennsylvania, Temple University One hears much these days about success. As we close another school term, this congratu- tory expression is suddenly extended to you by speakers, schoolmen, associates and friends. Yet, you alone must make a self-analysis to achieve success. You must recognize your points of ad- vantage and play them well. Likewise, you must be aware of your negative qualities and put forth every possible effort to eliminate or restrict them. You alone must interpret success. What are your plans for life? Will yours be the marquee with glittering lights, the fabulous income, the minks, and the expensive cars? Or do you aim primarily to serve your fellowmen? Oddly enough, the truly great have been those who have sacrificed self for others. History writes great over the names of those who have given full measure of devotion with little or no thought to the bodily comfort of self. In your pattern for success each passing day poses problems which you must attempt to solve. In some instances you will be successful; in others, you may fail. Yet, with each day there will be a hope in a tomorrow—a tomorrow de- pendent on the success of the day before. May your tomorrows be free of worry and successful in conformity with your chosen pattern. TROUT, CLAIR A. B.S.—Elizabethtown College M.Ed.—Western Maryland It is somewhat surprising that Seniors in high school are referred to as human beings. The word Being as listed in the dictionary implies the meaning of existence. In that respect, seniors are beings for they exist. In a much better sense of the word, seniors, as well as all pupils, should be referred to as human becomings. Today, you are here as seniors, but tomor- row you will become , and I leave that sentence unfinished. During your years of formal schooling, we have attempted to give you the type of education that would best fit you for the society in which you live. With graduation, our direct contacts cease. You then are in the stage of becoming what your school hoped for you to become. If in the pro- cess of your becoming, you fulfill the hopes and wishes of your parents and your school, you will have reached the station in life called success, for you will have found your place in service to hu- manity. 10
