SENIORS OF 1956: You are about to close the second epoch of your life. The first was finishedwhen you went from your home, at the age of five or six, to en- ter school. This epoch has been one of many varied experiences. You have spent the whole period attending schools. During this time you have grown in stature, mentally, spiritually and physically. You have had much interest and help from your home and the school in the guidance Of preparing for alife career. At the same time you have had much freedom of choice in making your own decisions. Right now you are faced with many new problems. Has my prepara- tion helped me in planning my future? What can I do best? Should I go to college? How can I bear the financial obligations of continued edu- cation? What are the real values in life? Am 1 beginning to see a vision of the world and its future wonders? The period you are entering will be demanding. It will require that yOu develop and hold firmly onto a real sense of positive values. Your sense of real values in life will depend on your viewpoint. Remember that real value does not depend on size alone. Material things alone have no true value. The things we do, do not offset the things we leave un- done. Itis not how much you do but how well you do it, that is important. I know you are looking for happiness and recognition. That is as it should be. But, luxuries and pleasure alone do not make for real happi- ness. Ifyou use your luxuries and by striving, bring success and happi- ness to others, then you have found the real and lasting pleasures of living. Only the things that are eternally and fundamentally right create and prolong the thrills of living. Dorothea S. Kopplin in Something to Live By says: A good repu- tation; a clear conscience; appreciation of nature; a peaceful heart; a knowledge of having given happiness to others; a trained and well filled mind; satisfaction from duty well done; faith in the outcome of right; contentment; well adjusted social relationships; these make for true happiness. The Board of Education, faculty and I will anxiously follow your suc- cesses when you have gone. We wish you true happiness during com- mencement time and in the new epoch of your life. Ralph S. Lanham, Superintendent
