Message From Principal As you near the time of severance from your high school associations the follow- ing thoughts are worthy of your considera- tion: On occasion, involutional thoughts will flood your mind. They will remind you of the manner in which you conducted your high school days. They will remind you as to whether or not you developed as to your capacity. Whatever you realize, that fact is inescapable. It will determine the nature of your future path. It will determine whether you are to continue in the same progressive vein or, Whether you will have to detour to recoup what was lost through your indolence and improper attitude. Your niche in life will be affected by your direction. Individual initiative is being challenged daily due to increasing encroachment on the lives of people by governmental and other agencies. More than ever great strength of character is needed by individuals to keep sacrificing time and effort in Work, while they see many others securing material benefits equal to or better than theirs with little or no effort. Individual initiative caused the expansion and develop- ment of our excellent country. It must be predominant if its continuanceis to he maintained. The most vital source of such individuals must come from students of your age. It must come through realization, appreciation, and dedication. A dwindling source will leave us, in time, a nation of complacent and shallow-thinking people. Such a nation is very vulnerable to the greed, ambition, and immorality of envious nations. It is with sincere pleasure that best wishes are extended to each member of the Class of 1960. Being personally affected, the wishes assume a greater magnitude. Stephen J. Drotter Principal of Drury High School
