To THE CLASS OF l949 Soon the events of your high school days will be past. Herels hoping your ex- periences have been pleasant. But, whether pleasant or not, may they prove profitable as the years unfold before you. There is not space to say much here, nor may it even be necessary to say any- thing. Doubtlessly teachers, friends, and others have often tried to point out the way for you. Not always were such efforts appreciated or heeded. Sometimes they may have been misunderstood, or even resented. AS you face the future, resolve to keep on growing spiritually and mentally, to do your bit toward making the community, the State, the Nation, yes, even the world a place where all creeds, races, and na- tionalities may live together in peace and in harmony. Resolve to make our democ- racy better and to extend it to all peo- ples of the world. Exercise your duties of citizenship. Cling to the belief in a Supreme Ruler of the Universe. Be gen- tlemen and ladies wherever you are. This is the brief message I would leave with you. Dr. L. C. Keefauver TVlR.GU1LE VV. LEFEVER, BS., M.S. High School Principal DR. LLOYD C. KEEFAUVIQR A.B., A.M., EDD. S-Mperia zfendenf of Schools f . , , 1. -...- -Q-ff ti . To THE CLASS OF 1949 VVhen you leave your high school in June, the state will have fulfilled its obli- gation to you with regards to financing formal education. It is hoped that your schooling has developed in you, a citizen ready to take his place in a democratic society. VVhile you are enjoying the benefits of this democracy, accept at the same time the responsibilities and we will be the type of country which the world imagines us to be. America today enjoys a unique position in the world. We as individuals must assume the obligations that go with a position like this and discharge them with trust. We cannot afford the let the other fellow do it attitude. It is on the shoulders of young people such as you that the burden of the future rests. Your exit from high school only entitles you to continue your education. You never stop learning. There is no such thing as a static person. You either progress or go back. Nothing stands still. G.
