To the Class of 1956: On behalf of your School Board. 1 wish to congratulate the members of the class for completing the course of studies in the Darby Borough School District. For most of you, it has been nearly three years since your entrance into high school. The pendulum has swung with the passing of time: and few. if any. of you realized how short these years could he. Your studies here are completed, just one big step towards your final ambition which your Board of Education hopes will be fully realized with long life, good health, and happiness. Sincerely yours. RAYMOND S. MARTIN, SR. President DR. RAYMOND S. MARTIN. SR. MR. WILLIAM J. FRASCH. JR. President Vice President School

To the Class of 1956: I read recently that, in our mechanical age, one machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. That is a discouraging thought when one thinks of the thousands of young high school and college men and women who will be seeking employment this Spring. However, I would like to suggest a more encouraging picture: NO MACHINE CAN DO THE WORK OF AN EXTRAORDINARY PERSON. When I speak of an extraordinary person, I do not speak necessarily of a brain or a genius. To me, an extraordinary individual is one who possesses those fine qualities of honesty, dependability, loyalty, industry and the ability to get along with others. BE AN EXTRAORDINARY PERSON. EDWARD B. DEERY, B.S., M. Ed. Superintendent of Schools J. WALLACE SANER Principal “The good Education of Youth has been esteemed by wise men in all ages, as the surest Foundation of the Happiness both of private Families and of Commonwealths.” —Benjamin Franklin
