Frankfort Community High School Office Of The Principal 601 East Main Street Area Code 618 932-3126 West Frankfort, Illinois 62896 High school years are happy years, carefree years, wonderful years. They can be lived only once. High school years can also be frustrating years; they are sure to be years of greatest challenge. This challenge is unavoidable; it is one with which you must cope. You will emerge from this effort either triumphant and better prepared for trying situations in the future, or defeated and apathetic . . . possessing behavior patterns that will make most of your contacts with the future increasingly difficult as the years go by. These are the years during which you must contend with contrasting forces. This is no simple task. You are no longer a child; neither are you an adult. Each day you are faced with situations requiring action on both sides of this invisible line. The way in which you react to these youthful experiences will result in satisfaction and growth, or disappointment and discouragement. If you use wisely the opportunities made available to you during your years in school, the future will be bright, rewarding, and joyful. May your lives be long and profitable and happy. May they be lived in such a way that as the years increase, you can look back with pride and satisfaction toward ajob well done, and those with whom you have worked and played and lived will have profited from your presence among them. Sincerely, 19
