MR. H. EDGAR RIEGLE Superintendent The year of your graduation, 1960, begins a new decade in world history-a very important period for the world in general and for you in particular. Many changes have taken place since you entered high school and you can be sure that there will be many more changes in the decade ahead. We can expect many changes in technology and in social living. There is one area in which any change should and must be opposed. This area is the one which would tend to undermine or destroy our belief in the dignity and worth of the indi- vidual. Our culture and our political beliefs and practices have been founded on the premise that each person is important to himself and to our society in general. Our public schools exist because our forefathers believed every person should have an opportunity to develop to his full potential. We hope you do this. Please accept my congratulations on your graduation from our High School. We wish for you a good future! H. EDGAR RIEGLE MR. CLIFFORD B. SNOWBERGER Principal COMMENCEMENT You may have asked the question as to why we use the word commencement in our program for high school graduates. The correct connotation of course is that it is the act, fact or time of commencing. Actually you are commencing the greatest adventure of life. I might even say that it's like approaching the crossroads at an intersection. If you know where you are going, you are happy, secur-e and confident. If you donlt, you may make the wrong turn and find yourself in the opposite situation. I am sure many of you know where you are going. I sincerely believe that whatever road you take will lead to success and happiness. You have proven that you have will power and determination by earning your diploma and fulfilling all responsibilities toward it. Now life in all of its thrills, exciting experiences and challenges awaits you. God willing may all of your dreams come true. May I take this opportunity to congratulate you, the seventy-fourth senior class of Gettysburg High School, and commend you for the fine record you as a class have attained. CLIFFORD B. SNOWBERGER The class of 1960 wishes to express its deepest appreciation to the faculty for the guidance and understanding they have given us in our years of public education. They have given willingly of their time to assist with our extra-curricular activities and offered sympathetic guidance in our programs and careers. The seniors fully appreciate the patient instruction' they have given us that will help us to lead more useful lives. The personal interest they have shown in our work and the inspiration they have given us has meant a great deal to us. page ni e
