'aemem a May I congratulate you on this fine record of the years activ- ities. Your high school annual will become more valuable to you as time goes on. It will bring back memories of days of enjoyment, success and attainment as well as those of trial. l sincerely hope the years you have spent here in our schools Q have given you a spirit of obligation and hope for the years ahead. This splendid community of ours reflects the varied philosophies of its citizens. Your school and other community agencies have contributed to your philosophy. It will now be your responsibility to safeguard the right of future generations to be recipients of like philosophies free from your own prejudice, bias or malice. p. In our present day of stress on material, on amusements and self-satisfaction may we realize that we truly live in our service to others. I.. E.
