f ' Reynold E. Mick Board of Education Adminisfrafion It has been a privilege for your super- intendent to watch the development of the class of 1950. You were among the largest if niot the largest freshmen class on the school rec- ords up to that time. You will set a new record for the number of graduates in a class. The keen intelligence manifest by you and the divergence of interests among you makes it seem probable that this class will make itself felt in the future history iof Ithaca high school Alumni.

Adminisfrafion The stature of a man is determined not alone by his deeds. His acts must be view- ed in the light .of his think-ing. For as a man's philosophy directs his actions, so must he be judged. A generous act promt- ed by selfish motives is not generosity. Nor can a man reach his fullest stature without a realization of his piotentialities, both his strengths and his weaknesses. He must so direct his growth that he will obtain the maximum utilization of his strength and a minimum retardation from his weaknesses. Nor can a man reach the pinnacle of his develop-ment without a sense of his own Worth. It is impossible for a man to think of himself as little and do big things. For as a man thinks, so he is. a Elaine Baker Pat Evitts Jane Whitman Ch Carl H. Anderson Martha Mcconkey Beatrice Glover Jeanne Aldrich , .
