ONIFER' STANLEY M. KURTZ TO THE CLASS OF 1950: The Class of 1950 goes from high school into a world beset with unrest and rumors of preparations for war, This situation appears to be the result of a conflict in concepts of government and religion, communism versus capitalism. This country has become the greatest country in the world because of our fundamental religious beliefs and our system of government in which private enterprise and individual achievement are recog- nized. Our way of life has provided the highest standard of living ever known to man. We know that you understand and believe in democracy. You have a divine mission to perform. You must spread the gospel of democracy, unselhshness, and godliness to maintain peace. lf you fail, civilization will perish. You must succeed!

We have attempted faithfully to dis- charge our obligations to you. We feel, especially since being recognized this year as a school accredited by the Commission on Secondary Schools of the Middle States Asso- ciation of Secondary Schools and Colleges, that you in this comparatively small com- munity have enjoyed all the educational advantages possible, excepting schools of the very largest communities. We believe our excellent school staff has done much to make this so. Your success alone will substantiate our beliefs and reward our efforts. Best wishes! BOARD OF SCHOOL DIRECTORS H. M.

MARK H. LAYSER TO THE CLASS OF 'illz The mid-point of the twentieth century has been reached and passed. The last half of this period may differ vastly in accomplishments from those of the previous fifty years. Your concern muy not be in what has happened, but in what is going to happen between now and the end of this century. As seniors, a part of your life has been spent in the first half of this century. As graduates and citizens of the community, your contributions to society will be felt more strongly in the future. While your life is before you, pleasant recollections of your youth will be stored in your yearbook. A half century from now your Conifer will stir your memories of pleasant, care-free lives at the period when you wandered through the halls of East Greenville High.
