Many things have changed in our way of living, but one thing that has not changed is this: we must all work--diligently and patiently, to obtain the best that life has to offer. The A9'ers worked with pick and shovel and covered wagon and trusted largely to luck. Today, we work with books and brains and trust to our own perseverance, diligence, and integrity. The privilege of association with you students of G.H.5. is enriching to every member of the .administration. We admire your courage and bravery in the field of sport, your charm and interpretation on the stage in mu- sic and dramaticsg your honesty and ingenuity, your alertness and fresh you g enthusiasm. All of these attributes, and more, we of the school board find good and fine in the young men and young women of Girard High School. Our message to you this 1949 year is: keep always alive in your minds and hearts these admirable qualities which have become a part of you during your growing-up years. With best wishes, J. S. Todd
