4 V, Ham r ORVELL K. FLETCHER District Superintendent and Principal ,f-x n my desk is a polished piece of black stone. A million years ago it was a portion of a grow- ing oak tree. Now it is a piece ot petrified rock, round and rough on the sides, polished on the ends, still showing the exact outline of a branch. It is a source of wonder to me that a rough, unattractive rock can become so -beautiful when the arts of the skilled craftsman are applied to it. The change from rough exterior to polished finish is accomplished by the artisan. Symbolically enough, this is exactly what has been happening to the graduates of 1958. Four years ago you came to us seeking the refinements of an education. The artisans are your in- structors, your administrators, and your Board of Trustees. As the twig is bent, so it the tree inclined. As we have been able to influence your learning, so have we been able to mold your character, your attitudes, your future success. But the polishing process is only partially complete. A number ot you will continue your training. We are proud that the group which seeks college training is growing larger each year. Whether you enter college or the world of work we wish you the best in the years to come- the best, based not upon luck, but on making the right decisions, the best, based upon the knowledge and experience you have gained at Galt High. Graduates of T958-you are now your own artisans! You must complete the polishing process!
