' elf wtg f..l A s llss l l - d is . .fs .l I ' A Q 'H X if, 3 1 new To the Members of the Class of 1969: ln a few more days, for each one of you, another chapter in the book of life draws to a close. And so would I remind you, before you begin the next, that it has often been said, Fools brag about what they have done, but wise men despair of accom- plishments never attained. As you look back and reflect, are you, like so many of us, dissatisfied with your past efforts and accomplishments? Fortunately for all of us, the opportunities ahead are endless if we will but recognize and accept the challenge. lt would be dishonest to say that it is easy, for at one time or another each one of us gets discouraged-the gifted as well as the unfortunate, the rich as well as the poor, and even the strong as well as the weak. With discouragement, effort becomes a bur- den. And yet, for a fact, everybody in this world has a burden. This in itself is relatively unimportant. What is important is HOW YOU CARRY IT. My challenge to you is to car- ry your burden well. lt is my hope that these words will encourage you in the days ahead. To each one of you, I extend my very best wishes for success, good health, and lasting happiness. . Sincerely, A. W. Nluller Superintendent 5

Downer, Mr. S. Feldman. On behalf of my fellow Board Members: My wishes are extended to the graduating Class of 1969 for a long life of happiness and success. Remember, graduates, you must thank many persons for making this graduation a reality. We extend our thanks to the administration and all members of the staff, professional and non-professional. Their assistance and guidance, I am sure, in some way have helped you develop a brighter outlook on life. Above all, your parents have contributed most to this feat's becoming a reality. A special tribute should be extended to all of you for your enthusiasm and school spirit that have established a new record for this school district. It is this kind of lead- ership by students that builds good character and outstanding citizenship. In your reflections to come in future years, remember Highland with the good fellowship of your democratic fellow students. I am concerned with your future. I would hope that each graduate pursues a defi- nite course in life. Seek out your vocation. Assume the proper attitude and you will be sure to succeed. A great many events have occurred during your high school years that have changed the course of history. You have experienced some historical events that have hailed the hallmark of our times. The success of the Apollo Eight is one of those happenings. This should inspire you as graduates to forge ahead to make this the greatest nation in the world. I say stand up for what is right and just for all of mankind.Do not be influenced by the militant forces that are out to break down the sphere of law and order that has served our nation so well for generation upon generation. Do not let these moments of violence ta ke root in your lifetime. May the dreams and hopes of peace, fellowship and understanding for a better world become a reality for all. Good luck, graduates. Joseph R. Moffa, President Board of Education 4
