MR. ALBERT F. HEBERLIG We are proud to dedicate the 1963 DELAWAEIE to a teacher who has been in our school system for more than thirty years. Mr. Heberlig began his teaching career in Matamoras following his gradu- ation from Shippensburg State College in 1929. His continued service to this school system has made our aca- demic mathematics department one of the best in the state. For many years, Mr. Heberlig has sponsored the Conservation Club. This service club has greatly improved our school grounds through clearing, pest control, and replanting. As Student Council advisor, Mr. Heberlig has contributed an- other immeasurable service to our school. Many Student Councils have gratefully known his guidance. The students managed the Coun- cil, and yet Mr. Heberlig was always there to help and advise. Thank you, Mr. Heberlig.

TO THE CLASS OF 1963: It is our hope that you have acquired the basic tools of learning such as skill in reading, writing, speaking and obtaining information from available reference ma- terials. A general understanding of the development of our culture is a tool that should help in evaluating and interpreting the problems of your time. It should be understood that you have not acquired a sufficient quantity of knowledge to meet your needs for a lifetime. However, with these tools and sufficient perseverance you can constantly add to your fund of knowledge that information which will be most useful to you. The tools of learning are similar to common tools in that they have no intrinsic value; their great benefit is released only when properly used. Of equal importance to the acquisition of knowledge is the ability to make proper social adjustments. Research has proved that over QO o of employees who were fired lost their jobs not because of the lack of ability to do the necessary work but be- cause of the lack of ability to get along with their fellow workers. They failed in the area of human relations despite adequate vocational skills. You are approaching a commencement - a beginning. You now have sufficient maturity and skills to make a searching analysis of yourself. What should be your re- lationship and attitude toward your Creator, friends and fellow citizens, parents, and employer or prospective employer? What are your responsibilities to family, com- munity, and nation? These are decisions that will be made. I hope and pray that you won ' t drift into them but rather will use all the skills and resources at your command to earnestly weigh all the evidence and then courageously make your decisions. I wish to extend to all of our seniors my very best wishes for happiness and success in your chosen fields. Seek and Ye shall find is not empty or old-fashioned advice: I recommend it to you.
