To the Class of 40-48 Congratulations on the successful completion of your high school edu- cation. Remembering that the formal exer- cises which mark this completion are known as Commencement, may each one of you begin a career that will be successful and satisfying and charac- terized by a willingness to play your part in achieving a better world. You have my very good wishes. i Sincerely, lane McCleary Vice-Principals As you embark upon the serious busi- ness of life, may l suggest that you carry with you from this school the idea that the things you want can only be secured by the same kind of hard work you did in school to graduate. Wishful thinking is not a means to an end, but it is useful within limita- tions. It may be used to delineate your objective, outline your processes, and give direction to your efforts: but suc- cess can come only through effort. May all of you enjoy your successes and minimize your failures so that your life- and the lives of those near you may be happy and fruitful. George Eisenhardt Note: Mr. Eisenhardt was transferred April l. We regret his leaving and wish him happiness and success at Northeast High School.
