the Mr. Kenneth I McKenzie uperintendent ...ff v HIGHLAND PARK PUBLIC SCHOOLS KENNEYH L. MACKENZIE. sunnmvrnnsm- HIGHLAND rum. N. J. June, 1958 Dear Seniors , We live today in a world which is more conscious than it has ever been before of the influence uf science on the lives of human beings. Great scientific discoveries have been made within the span of your own lives, and you will yet see the day come, no doubt, when scientists will step out of space ships on to the surface of the moon. Amid these great influences is one simple little principle of science which is basic and fundamental to every scientific discovery which utilizes energy. Briefly stated it says: Input must equal or exceed output. X would commend the application of this principle to your own lives. Never in the history of our country has there been greater disregard for its meaning on the part of individuals. We need today young people who are willing to demonstrate that nothing worth-while can be had without the application of as much as, if not more than, what one expects to receive in return. As you step into the challenging future, we want you to lmow that your friends st Highland Park High School sre interested in you, believe in you. and stand ready to help you at any time. Sincerely. 3 :Z 1 J Kenneth L. MacKenzie Superintendent of Schools

Mr. R. Richard ,gsm Johnson Principal W Ju rf uw -lc' HIGHLAND PARK HIGH SCHOOL rucuumo sux, nzw msn I. IICHAID JDMNIDN Pllnobll June , 1958 Dear Seniors, The first thoughts to come to mind when addressing a gradu- ating class are the usual platitudes about the future. They won't do ln this case, hecause for you, the future ls the present. The Space Age ls hers and you are its pioneers. l recently read that the first person who will reach the moon is now between the ages of eight and twenty: that might be you. And so we ask: Are you prepared? How will you fare ? To look forward we must sometimes look back. Let us look at only a very Iew of your accomplishments of the past year. You have initiated and sponsored our Drivers' Code and initiated our participation in the Student Exchange Program. You have set envi- able records and standards for those iollowlng you to try to match or surpass: in sports, in school and class spirit, and in graduation awards received. You have done wel.1l But. do you know the difference hetween a recession and a depression and where you fit into the picture ol our natlon's economy? Do you know hew many heads o! government have been challanged by rebels ln the past year? - and. more important - why? Do you realise that yours is the job of finding the way to living in true peace on an earth that keeps shrinking and ln a world growing smaller with each new jet and satellite 'I Do you know and realise all these things? Can you taco them? Miss Hughes, the wonderful lady to whom you dedicated this yearbook, seems to have answered this question many times. When she came into my eiiice to discuss your individual problems in Algebra and in school, our discussions would invariably end with her sincere and convincing statementz. . . . . . . . . Mr. Johnson, I know he can do the work. Sincerely, 4 .u9 qi.. R.. c rdJ'ohns ,..,.--Or' wan,
