THE TIMES THEY ARE A Come gather around people wherever you roam, And admit that the waters around you have grown, Accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone, If your time to you is worth savin', Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin'. Come writers- and critics who prophesize with your pen, And keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again, And don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin And there's no tellin' who that its namin' For the loser now will be later to win, For the times they are a-changin'. Come Senators, Congressmen please heed the call. Don't stand in the doorway, don't lock up the hall, For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled, The battle axe that raging, Will soon shake your windows and rattle your walls, For the times they are a-changin'. Come mothers and fathers throughout the land, And don't criticize what you can't understand, Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command, Your old road is rapidly aging Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand For the times they are a-changin'. The line it is drawn, the curse it is cast, The slow one now will later be fast, As the present now will later be past, The order is rapidly fading, And the first one now will later be last, For the times they are a-changin'. CHANGING

my own de- gree of isolation. IfI w as ignorant, I ensured my own ignorance. If I did not see, it was because I did not want to see. Albert Speer 's words are meant to condemn his own actions during World War ll, but they also reach out,even to West Covina,to shake and shame. In the last four years, w e have been shown, have experienced, and, possibily, have taken an active part in man's inhumanity to man. We have viewed and dis- Q 4 f 'Q J ,M ' I j A Learn to compromise: the inability to compromise is war! Men of principle, all too often, are w illin to allow others to die for their beliefs, and w hi le there is something rather noble about men doggedly sticking to principle, ' there is much also that is pathetic. Those to w hom life means little magnify the importance of princip e. You must be ready to die for principle, but you must be ready to live for compromise, and although it is true that it takes courage to die, it often takes more courage to live. Isthere any principle t ha t is worth one human life? Learn to com- promise. Mr. Louis Sergio In this great educational process there are two relevant wordsof wisdom that I quote often. fly The mind will absorb as much as the seat will en- dure. f2j Teaching would be wonderfulif it wasn'tfor the students. Mr. James Black Live! Live and enjoy life. That's my advice to graduating s e ni o rs. Keep physically fit. Develop an broad range of interests. Do not allow yourself to be bored---that's only admit- ting your own narrowness. Try to find something of in- terest in everthing and e- veryone you encounter. Read! Continue your educa- tion so that it extends thro- ugh your lifetime. Strive to realize your fullest potential- ities. Learn to know yourself and strive to become your own best friend. If you don't love yourself, you cannot expect others to do so. Learn to love, so that you may re- ceive love in return. Be all you can. Relate to your world through work and love. Work for peace. May you all make your own good fortune. Mr. Phil Norton As you prepare to com- mence the next stage in your life, mayl pointout that the next stepis always infinitely moreimportant than the last step. My hope is that you find living challenging, ex - citing, and rewarding. Mrs. Eleonore Harris cussed poverty, prejudice , and warg and we have found ourselves innocent. We have denied the existence of in- justice: it is not part of our Truth. We have flamed with righteous angerg then, once purged, w e have quickly cooled. We have rationalized our inhumanity, b lam in g another time, another place, another man. But the excuses are a fraud, a means of You have indeed onlyjust be unto live. How lovely if Igcould predict only bri ht roads and rosey promises get eac h of you. Rather, you will all fa ce challenges as weuasdreams. 1 nave con- fidence that you will find the wisdom and courage to meet your challenges and r e a c h out for your reams. Mrs. Susan Johnson' X I able ex pe ri ence watching you, the class of 1971, de- velopinto young adults over the last four years. This is my first year as a teacher and coach that I have been able truly been an enjoy- to see that unbelievable de- velopment from incoming freshmen to graduating sen- iors. It has een a pleasure working withso many of you in the classroom, on the PE field , and on the athletic field. I hope you have ben- efitted asrnuc as I have, -- and maty you all hold the ad- vice o the greatest teacher of them all, the late Vince Lombardi: Each man, whatever the degree of talent bestowed upon him has a moralresponsibility not only to himself but to society, to develop that ggto its ut- most degree. Mr. Gary Kretz a v oid in g envolvment, of tolerating evil. If we do not become concerned and active,if we do not question , if we refuse to see, if we simply tolerate,then we be- c o m e participants in the perpetuation of the hatred, the assassinations, the riots, an d the atrocities w e have witnessed in the last four years. Mr. PhilGary paper people to go West--that was where the opportunitieswere. I would advise young people to da y to go into business. Why prepare to work for somebody else when you can prepare to work for yoursel- ves? Working for yourself can be a thrilling and rewarding experience. advised young Mr. George Velasco we approach tion there looms the question w h a t now ? The security of home and school is not as solid as it once was. Many g r a d u a t es are hearing the statement, you are an adult now, you work it out. Within this setting the grad- uate faces what seems to be a more confused world than ever. Life has always had its un- certainties but likewise its h o p e s , faiths, and eternal truths. My advice to the class of 1971 is to look to- w ards the positive, search out the good and useful while a voiding the negative and unproductive. This point of view can insure success. Work at it! Con ratulation to e a c h of the Class of 1971 upon your graduation. Mr. Roscoe Vaniman
