January 5, 1961 Greetings to the Class of l96l: Soon you will be encountering many new challenging experiences. The degree of success that you achieve will be determined largely by the amount of effort exerted by you. Too many citizens of our schools and communities have been satisfied with mediocrity. As a result, we have met with only mediocre success in many areas of endeavor. Too many people have taken seriously and literally the friendly parting admonition to Take it easy! Perhaps we have been taking it too easy when there has been a definite need for hard work and diligent application to the tasks before us. Parents and taxpayers of our School District and State have provided you with many of the basic skills and tools necessary for meeting new challenges, new duties and responsibilities. People sometimes question the wisdom of spending so much money on education when students show evidence of not appreciating its importance or value. Students and all of us must take greater advantage of educational opportunities, and we must apply those things we learn. The increasing complexity of all activities of society make it necessary for us to continue and to increase our learning - whether we are in high school, college, business, industry, the armed forces, or in the home. Changes are now taking place very rapidly, and we must continue to study and do our homework or we will be left far behind. Remember that your personal success and prosperity and the success and prosperity of our community and nation are directly related to your level of education and to how hard you work at fulfilling your duties and responsibilities. What does the future hold in store for you? Sincerely, GB!vd Supervising Principal GREGORY BENSON l
