My dear Graduates of 1948: Ever since you entered East Senior High School in September, 1946, your scholastic record has been noticeably high. For the greater part of the time that you were in the school, it would be true, in general, to say that the number of students in your class who were receiving all A’s” was equal to the number getting all ''A’s” in the other two classes combined. However, it remains to be noted that this superiority has been very decidedly on the part of the girls rather than on the part of the boys. Of the sixty-eight members of your class who were highest in rank at the end of the junior year, fifty-five were girls and thirteen were boys. What the explanation of this condition is seems difficult to determine. Two facts, however, seem evident. One is that the girls do a great deal more studying than the boys and the second is that the same condition exists throughout the nation. The Class of 1948 has been a pleasant one with which to work. I have grown to know some of you very well and I shall long value your friendship. In future years I hope that you will remember East Senior High School with pleasure and affection. May the lessons you have learned here be of service to you throughout a long and happy life. I wish you Good Luck and Godspeed. Henry J. Winters
