Mr. Leon J. Galloway HHS Principal Since 1957 Our great United States, as never before, bears the mantle of leader- ship, and that leadership is not a luxury, but rather a great responsibility, a great burden and a heavy duty. The words of our Declaration of Indepen- dence, “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”, should have for all of you a real meaning. Thus you as a graduate of Hicksville High School and not just our na- tional leaders should prove your leadership by continuing your personal re- sponsibilities for the stewardship of human freedom. It is difficult to think of a more fundamental contribution your class can make to a free society. Another contribution should be the instilling in your selves of a spirit of public happiness. It will be this dedication to public happiness found in your hearts and in the hearts of your children that will insure the ultimate victory of free men in their struggle against the forces of oppression. Remember us kindly and may God bless you and care for you always. 14
