VISTA MESSAGE 1979 Dear Seniors ---- This is a very exciting time in your lives. Graduation is a milestone that is not simply achieved chronologically, but earned by your efforts. The faculty at South Senior has expended energies to help you reach your potential. Their deep wish is that you will be able to live happy and useful lives. Most of us can say, about our high school experience, that it was a time that we could have done better. The passing of years permits us the wisdom to reevaluate and realize that it was a time of finding oneself socially as well as academically; it was a time when we were searching to be free but still relying on parental support; it was a time when we were examining all new experiences and interests and letting other obligations have a lower priority; it was a time when we tried to surpress fears of, Will I be successful? , or Will I be able to achieve my aspirations? , or What will become of me? In retrospect it is surprising that we achieved as well as we did in high school. We hope that at the very least you experienced relationships with adults who were caring and that you were able to meet with people who appreciated your problems and tried to help you over the hurdles. For some it may be too soon to make this assessment. However, I hope that someday you may look back at South Senior and express these feelings with pride. We, the faculty and staff at South Senior, will not forget you. We remain ready to assist you in the years to come. We are richer for having known you. 20
