KENNETH A. RAWSON, PRINCIPAL FLATHEAD COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL TO THE CLASS OF 1953 There are so rnany avenues of life open to all of us that it is easy, when the going gets tough iand it always doesl, to quitffand go another way. You have not quit in your struggle to obtain for yourself a high school diploma. Therefore to you l extend the heartiest of congratulations upon your present achievement. May it be only the first in many of lite's successes in store for you. You now have a good start in developing your ability to do things. However, it is only a start. Remember the world judges you and pays you not for what you decide to do but for what you actually do. Dreams don't count until they begin to work themselves into reality. Don't expect something lor nothing. Work for what you want. No amount of talent or no amount of influence will carry you very far unless you work. An accident may put you into a responsible position, but nothing but fitness and work will hold you there. May the best of liie be yours. Kenneth A. Rawson
