MOSHER Principal THE PRINCIPAL SPEAKS This year as every year thousands of principals will write messages for hundreds of thousands of seniors across the country., Some of us have been doing this for more years than vie care to recall. Interestingly enough, however, it's one of the more pleasant tasks we perform. It never becomes mere routine. CHARLES Q, CII-KCCIO It's always a challenge. And it's always rewarding if ,only indirectly. Vjfe Pfmfjpaj What can a principal say to the seniors via the yearbook page? This par- ticular principal feels that this particular word' should be geared toward the 1 future in the light of what our past experiences should have taught us. Patrick ' Henry is said to have felt that I have no way of judging the future except by the past. This is a valid premise, generally, but we are certain that in many cases it's an over-simplification of the problem. It is true that if you've been reasonably successful in high school, you may , expect, with the same effort, to be reasonably successful in your post-high- U . Ll school-life. But 'what of the individual who has achieved only to the degree that gm A , he just got by ? What are his chances for successes? Here is where the break! I v 7' j down begins. It's at this point that things become rough. The competition is X 3' '- much more extreme, the pressures are greater, the expectations are higher, and j the rewards and penalties are more readily recognizable and, consequently, often X j more desirable. He's got to work harder, it's as simple as that. ' ' j What we are trying to say, of course, is that it's entirely possible that you will j be graduated without having always put your very best effort into the situation. 4 Some of us have a remarkable faculty for just getting by, That will soon be in the past, though, and it will become more and more apparent to you that you will get out of life fyour college, your work, your Armed Service experience, exactly what you have put into it in the way of effort, imagination, seriousness of purpose, and loyalty. You can't be satisfied, any longer, with any effort short of your very best. If you are, you will find that the competition is too tough, that, unfortunately, you'll be left somewhere, sometime. Your amateur days are over. You're in the game for keeps, now. It's big league all the way, and you'll find that the opportunities we've been providing for you to make choices will really pay off. Remember there are not too many second chances after high school. Life after high school is even more of a two-way sit- , ua-tion than it was in high school. Nothing less than your best is acceptable if you expect to be successful and--we're sure you will he. j . l 0 . . ' -4 ' V -..u.t-u..m..-life-J.. ,
