’8 Message ... Fellow Classmates: As the chosen representative ol my classmates I wish to extend the most sincere gratitude to our teachers and alumni for the advice given us in the past four years. For some of us the future holds a college career, for some the world of busi¬ ness, and for others a stay in the armed forces. But wherever each one of us chooses to go, in any section of the world, we will bear with us the proud heritage of English High School. In the future we will endeavor to carry with us the honor of this great institution of learning and will, to the best of our ability, carry on this heritage.
