,. lg-x frm To the Class of 1949: It has been our aim to make available to you a broad course of study under the direction of a staff of teachers chosen for their training and abilities in hopes you may leave this school with a preparation which will enable you to go forward and become good citizens in this democracy of ours. We are looking forward to your accomplishments. J. NEWTON SHIRLEY You have spent twelve years in the public schools. The school has provided opportunities for you to learn to make the most of your talents and to get along successfully with other people. You have acquired some understanding of your responsibilities as a citizen, and have developed skills and interests which will enable you to make a better living than would have been likely without this training. Really, you have spent twelve years learning to learn. May the habits of study you have established in your day to day school struggle make your life happier and more successful for having done these things! JOHN A. WHITEHEAD During the year we have been alerted to the terrific social impli- cations of atomic power. No doubt the years immediately ahead will be changing ones fraught with wonderful scientific discovery. Our problem will be to adjust our moral, social, and economic order to the impacts these discoveries will have upon our lives. Our job in education today is to help young people meet these challenges with good attitudes, stable emotions, and nurtured abil- ities. It lies in the province of education to lay the foundation of peace through knowledge. We hope that the judgment and stabil- ity you have gained Will assure for you the knowledge and power to meet the challenge of the age. WALTER K. HJELM IIINETEEII-FURTY-NINE
