Cgmptrintmrlwt's message In this hour of crisis where confusion exists today, both at home and abroad, the need for an education becomes more apparent every day. Everything is pointing toward schooling beyond four years of high Tam 3H rm school. A high school diploma is not enough. Business men today Lire asking for grades. So it is necessary to strive for better grades in your effort to com- pete with others in this world of sharp competition. I v E 3 1 l 1 We are in need of the spirit of the pioneers who had the courage to venture forth into new horizons, because they had the vision of a better life where their children could get more in the way of education than they could receive. I wish to compliment the Winnztdu Stuff for the tremendous amount of work they have done to produce :1 yearbook, and to congratulate the Class of 1964 for completing their high school course of study.

Albert M. 1.0u'ry Assistant Superintendent ; g x. Nearly forty per cent of the young men and women in this group will go on to college for at least a year. But for the majority of American youngsters, this is the hour of parting with formal edu- cation. They will go on to work, marry, raise children, vote, pay taxesnall without further schooling, some we have seen, are delighted to end their years of education because they lack funds to see them through an increasingly costly col- lege course. This need not be the case, because there are many ways other than enroll- ment at the traditional four year college for one to continue his education in America, to cite just a few: career training offered by the Army, Marines, Naxy and Coast Guard, trade or voca- tional school, business and secretarial schools, and junior colleges. As our society grows more complicated and competitive, high school education becomes increasingly inadequate as a pre- paration for work and living. A general education is fine, but more is needed to- day, and most people simply are not exposed in high school to all the skills Lind knowledge they will ultimately need. A college diploma is now a routine re- quirement for most weIl-paying positions. There are exceptions, of course, but the exceptions are becoming fewer, so we Sincerely hope that the members of thin, the 1904 Class, have given serious Ctmsidcrution and made plans to go on to some. form of higher education.
