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.
