Dear Class of 1971: You have been looking forward for a long time to this, your high school graduation. You have been on the road to this goal for many years and it has been a pleasure to travel part of it with you. But this day also marks the beginning of a new journey as you leave Forest Park to follow another road. It is my wish for you that you will gain your farther goal successfully as you have reached this one. May your road be a pleasant one and may good fortune go with you. Sincerely yours, W7-I-if Haroldyn Mapes Assismrit Principal Dear Graduates of 1971: It may very well seem like the usual cliche to say that gradu- ates oi'1971 are entering the world in momentous times, but the statement is truer today as never before. Educators of today are not even certain that they are educating youth for the world of to- morrow. While we know the future holds great events both good and bad, no one is exactly certain what the remainder of this cen- tury will bring. One thing is certain however. The remaining quarter of this century will require people of far greater education, moral fiber and spiritual dedication than ever before. There are decisions to be made in the very near future that will affect this planet and all of its inhabitants down to the microscopic. You will help make these decisions at a very early age. It is sincerely hoped that in the few years spent at Forest Park we have given you the fundamentals needed to build upon. Whether you enter the world of work, higher education, or embark upon a matrimonial career, l extend to the entire class of 1971 my sin- cere best wishes. Sincerely yours. Mr. Bertram L. Merritt Administrative Assistant
