SENIORS OF 1055 - This Commencement marks a turning point in your living. For twelve years you have been in school as a student. You have had the guidance of teachers and administrators dur- ing these years. Your school, the organization of which you have been an active member, has set standards, regulations and provided activities for your welfare. Now you are adults. You will be so considered by the public. You willbe competing with other adults for the things you wish to have and for your accomplishments. Opportunity before you is unlimited. You will limit your chances of success and recognition only to the degree that you are not willing to work. Your personality can be your best calling card. You will find that you must influence people if you are to achieve anything in life. Howpeople regard and respect you will be a clear reflection of your own self respect. In adult life competition is strong. In this competition may I suggest tU that you make a definite choice of values or objectives, LU that you think clearly, Bi that you cherish the help others unselfishly give Mi that you give your best, unselfishly to whatever you do, and CH that you develop a deep and abiding faith in God - one you can implement into practice each day. We feelthat you have made a definite contribution during your years here to making our schools better. You have left records that will challenge our present and future stu- dent body. Make this year and thisC ommencement one of great joy to you and your friends. The Board ofEducation,the faculty, and I are most happy for this great moment of achievement in your life. We wish you much success. Ralph S Lanham. Superintendent
