ADMINISTRATION To the Class of June, 1963: I hope you will pause as you approach your graduation to reflect upon the years which passed while you prepared for the decisions affecting your futures. Much of your re- flection will bring you the satisfaction of work ond play well done. Some of it will bring regrets that you have not taken advantage of the opportunities which were offered to you. The satisfaction can serve as an inspiration to seek greater accomplishment; the regrets may be that which you will avoid in the future. For the contribution which you have made to the life of our school, I am most grateful. In behalf of the school, I hope that you may continue to equip yourselves to the extent of your ability. May you give to your community, your state, and your country the benefits of the education which they have provided for you. The future is bright ond the challenge great. Will you accept it? With sincere best wishes, Ruel E. Tucker Mr. Ruel E. Tucker, Principal This book shows in pictures and words many of the events of the school year. It does not show the hours of time put in by devoted students and teachers. My congratulations to the de- voted few who made the book a reality. The production of a yearbook is a cooperative effort of many individuals. The various editors have to make choices for which they are responsible. Similarly, as individuals in school and society, we must leorn to assume the responsibility for the choices we make. Many times we fail to make the proper de- cision. We must then accept the result. We tend to blame some- one else for our difficulties in and out of school when some calm thought would bring us to the conclusion that we ourselves were responsible. My best wishes to the seniors as they move on to their next goal; may they achieve all that they wish for themselves. Charles A. Maier Mr. Charles A. Maier, Assistant Principal 7

The secretaries, the custodians and the cafeteria staff work diligently so that the school will run smoothly. Our secretaries work in the main office and guidance department keeping students records and carrying out program details. They help the student body by publishing the daily bulletin. Headed by Miss Daly, they have all studied stenographic and secretarial skills and took tests to qualify for their positions. Mrs. Matthews heads the cafeteria staff which prepares our nutritional lunches. Members of this staff either fake courses or are trained in the job. The custodial staff, headed by Mr. Magee, keeps our school clean and functioning. It is the custodians' work that keeps the floors relatively dust-free and the equipment working. To become a cus- todian, one must take competitive examinations. CAFETEKIA STAFF CUSTODIAL STAFF 9
