HARLEM CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS 735 Windsor Road ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS To the Class of 1958: At the time of writing, the headlines are concerned with satellites, rockets, annihilation, and world destruction. It would be very easy for you to give up and fail to plan and prepare for the future. But here is another headline that holds hope for the future, “Brain Coming Into Its Own.” The news item continues, “At long last intellectualism is sweeping our country. The young people—as a group—are beginning to realize that education is their only salvation, and not a distasteful period in their lives.” Graduates, you are now a select group. You have started your education. You have laid the foundation on which you can build by studying and learning. I hope all of you see the necessity for a well-trained and developed mind and will spend the time and energy necessary to build on the foundation you have laid while at Harlem. You, the Class of 1958, have intelligence, ability to co-operate and work together, and new and exciting opportunities. The challenge is all around you; you have the ability. We expect to read about your achievements in the future. It has been a pleasure to watch you develop during the past four years and I hope your development has just begun. I wish for you, Class of 1958, unlimited success. Harold W. Moore, Principal
