PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE SENIORS I covet this opportunity to congratulate you on your accomplishments at E. E. Smith and to congratulate you on the 1967 publication of the Smithsonian. In the years that follow, I hope that you willglorify the oldand honored name of E. E. Smith by joining its illustrious sons and daughters who are in the forefront in building a better Amer- ica. Both your past and your future justify and demand that you pursue even higher goals and standards than your predecessors - that forged a better way of life for yourself and others. I challenge you to fight the battle against man ' s common enemies: poverty, disease, ignorance, crime, and war itself. This battle calls for a commitment to hard work, sacrifice, courage, in- sight, and Divine Guidance. As you sing the praises of your Alma Mater, always remember that the greatness of this school is not just its architecture or equipment - not even the curricula and teachers - valuable as they are; its greatness is YOU. Propose never to be unworthy of your school and the oppor- tunities it has afforded you. The resources of my office are always at your disposal as I continue in your service and in the service of those who follow you. May the efforts you ' ve spent here and the fruits thereof be a blessing in the years to follow. You have my prayers and best wishes.
