MEMBERS OF THE CLAss or 1950: A spirit of optimism is needed to urge you on- ward and upward. It gives you hope for the future, without which you despair and despairing, give up. Hence, I wish for each of you a generous quantity of the spirit of optimism. But be not blinded by your spirit of optimism, for dangers threaten not only the foundation of our Country, but also of civilization. These dangers can be diminished in proportion as you, as indi- viduals, are willing to do the right thing by your- self, by your fellowmen, and by your Creator. Space does not permit me to enumerate here the ideals and attitudes you should adopt to guide you on life's journey. Neither is it necessary that I should do so, for I am satisfied that you already know them. Wlietlier you practice them in your daily living is entirely in your hands. My hope is that you may be guided by what is decent and proper. L. C. KEEFAUVER MR. GUILE W. LEEEVER, B.S., MS. High School Principal DR. LLOYD C. KEEFAUNIER, AB., A.M., EDD. Szfperintendelrzt of Schools To THE CLASS OF 1950: You are completing your high school Work this year at a time when the nation's labor supply equals the demand. This will mean that employ- ment will be secured by those who have prepared themselves and are willing to do the job. Our philosophy will have to change from what belongs to me to what do I owe? Our nation does not owe us a living, rather, it owes us the privilege of earning a living for our- selves. VV hen each individual is willing to keep himself, many of our nation's problems will be solved. G. W. LEFEVER Seven
