Some of you who read this will have received your diploma indicating that you have met state and local requirements for graduation from this high school. Let us hope sincerely that you do not believe that you have learned all that is nec- essary to lcnow to live a satisfactory and suc- cessful life in future years. We must continue to study and learn each day we live. Adults do this in one way or another to hold their jobs, to secure better positions, and to experience the personal satisfaction of learning new and worth- while things. I congratulate you upon reaching this important point in your educational life and I hope you will continue to learn constructively in school or out of school. I-I. EDGAR RIEGLE Superintendent of Gettysburg Schools Behind the Scenes: These Men Tackle As superintendent of the Gettysburg Joint School System, Mr. Riegle is doubtless a man with responsibilities. He carries out the policies and decisions of the School Board, always having in mind what is best for the schools. One of his many duties is the selection and hiring of teachers for the Gettysburg Schools. Another of Mr. Riegle's duties, although he says it is a pleasure, is shaking hands with graduating seniors as he hands them the diploma with the other hand. This process confuses most seniors and also wears out Mr. Riegle's hand. Mrs. Mabel Follzenrotb, secretary to the Superin- tendent, checks over fnancial ledger.

You must decide whether or not the present ways of the world are to be tolerated or rejected. The tools which you forged here, especially those of thinking and reasoning, should give you formidable weapons and make it easier for you to make those decisions. There is one other tool which has not been fully forged here, however, for this tool comes from the heart. Courage is the name of this tool-courage to stand up for what is right and vehemently reject what is wrong. CLIFFORD B.
