ADMINISTRATION 'HX It is my pleasure to add my congratulations to those of others interested in your success on the completion of the curriculum you have pursued. The reaching of any goal previously set is suitable cause for reasonable pride on the part of the individual and of congratulations by his friends. But make the goal which you are reaching only a temporary one, for the business world will not be satisfied with members who are not making progress. You should be planning the next step in your growth. We who watched your progress up to the present time will be interested in your future success. ALFRED E. BRAY 5 10 As this brief message is being written, a successful fall athletic season has just drawn to a close. Naturally, all students enjoy winning at football, soccer, or other sports, yet the lessons learned, in school and on the playing field, are more important than winning or losing school contests. Of course, you all admire the courage and skill of the athlete, but in the game of life will you display as much moral courage? Are you prepared to make wise decisions? After you graduate from Irvington High School will your behavior bring credit to yourselves, your school, your church or temple, and your parents? Will you ever keep alive your thirst for learning? Students from our Irvington Schools have made an' enviable record over the years. May you, who are about to leave us, uphold this fine tradition! RICHARD T. BECK MN

My best wishes to the Class of 1960. May the things you have learned in Irvington High School, which may or may not be the things we taught you, serve you well. Right now you think that the Class of 1960 is just about the best ever, and that no other group has ever quite reached your pinnacle. Keep the feeling. Part of a verse in the Bible says, . . . if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be salted? In my modern translation this means that if the youth of today has lost its enthusiasm, its vigor, its idealism, its self-confidence, its capacity for hard work, what hope for the future? So keep your proud self-assurance, add a dash of humility so we can live with you, and go out to change the world. HARRY C. WASASIER C X. fi I. gy . V ' As you go forth into fields of greater endeavor, be grateful for the opportunity to give of yourself in service to your fellowman, which will make you stronger and richer in spirit, for the self-control you will need to exercise, which will purify your spirit, and for the service you will render, which will ennoble your spirit and bring you success. That is my fondest hope for all of you, so, best wishes and good luck. WILLIAM PATZ Ld ll
