 MR. HEMMILA During his first year in Gwinn, Mr. Hemmila has acquired many new friends. In addition to his duties as principal, he conducts a conservation club, a safety patrol, and is manager at basketball games. Your graduation from high school Is merely a step up the ladder to success, so do not stop there; but continue your progress in whatever you endeavor to do. Never let the trials of life defeat you but consider them as a challenge and have faith in your abilities. Mr. Hemmila, Principal MR. WILLS Directing the senior play and acting as Senior Class advisor, Mr. Wills also wcrks at the table at basketball games. A jack of trades, need we say more? Working with you as your advisor this past year has been a happy experience for me. As your advisor, I would like to leave the final thought with you. Remember, that it is not always a question of how much you know but rather what use you make of your knowledge. Your place in life won't be decided by what you have acquired or how well you have trained but by what you are and what you actually do.
