nperinfemzlenf You, the members of the Senior Class, will soon be graduated from your high school. Up to the present time, your life has been somewhat sheltered. Soon you will be engaged in different activities: the service, industry, or enrolled in higher institutions of learning. Questions involv- ing moral, social, and mental problems will con- front you. It will be necessary to make decisions, to do some serious thinking. Thoughts and ideas put into action give direction to the individual's life. What you think, that which crystallizes into action, will decide the direction of your life. The fact may be somewhat sobering, but what you become will be largely the result of your acts, your decisions. I hope your decisions will be for the best. L. F. Ru mbaugh rinciyoa In this message to the graduates of the class of '53, I would like to suggest that you do some straight thinking about your future. There is no word, symbol or formula by which the suc- cess of people can be predicted. In selecting a career think straight and ask yourself if you have a life plan. You have completed your for- mal education which has given you the know- how, the information, facts, figures, and all other materials of our civilization from which you have developed skills, both manual and mental. This culture and these skills you will use in earning a living. The most important factor in your suc- cess will be determined by the human element. This human element is most unpredictable, and wh-ether you succeed or fail will be determined largely by weaknesses in your human relations with other people. Adopt a life plan-somethinq that you like to do and something that you do the best. STRAIGHT THINKING will bring you happiness and inner peace. Wm. D. Mullin

The Board members are elected by the voters of the Township and meet on the second Monday of every month. In planning for our edu- cational needs the School Board is a vital factor, although at times it is not fully ap- preciated or given full recognition for its many services and numerous accomplish- ments. This representative group of Mount Pleasant Township is confronted with many problems which concern our educational welfare. They have contributed their knowledge, experience, and service in solv- ing these problems and have shouldered our educational responsibilities. In per- forming its many duties and obligations the Board attempts to perform them in such a 8 way as to please everyone although at times this is rather difficult. The Board is one of the most important civic organizations in the community. Through its efforts our needs and wants have been fulfilled and our high standards of education have been maintained. The many activities and benefits we enjoy as students of Hurst High School are the result of the earnest endeavors of these directors. The real reward of the Board is not mone- tary remuneration, their reward is the satis- faction of helping to provide the best pos- sible educational program and facilities for the youth of their community. We, the Class of 1953, wish to express our qratitude to the Board of Education, which has provided for us an adequate and a well-rounded education.
