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,

ROBERT J. LOZAK Law and Economics, Typing 1, Bookkeeping Don't forget to put the boards back and take the newspapers with you. C0 ERCI L IRENE V. O'HARA Shorthand 1,2, Typing If you're good, I'll give you tomorrow all In general the purpose or function of the Com- mercial Department is to give vocational guid- ance in two main fields: secretarial and clerical. At the same time it is the aim of the department to train all of its members, by means of a well rounded curriculum, to be well adjusted and use- ful citizens. All of the participants in the commercial course receive practical experience both by serving as an official secretary to one or more of the teachers and by working under actual business conditions for nearly six weeks at any one of several businesses in the New Brunswick area. It is the hope of the department that, with the completion of the new addition, advanced cour- ses in bookkeeping and junior business training can be offered.
