OUR PRINCIPAL Wm AOZW Greetings to you students of Iordan Junior High School and most especially to those of you Who are completing the ninth grade this June, 1957. For you this is a great occasion. In the first place you are enjoying the distinction of being the Hrst class at Jordan to sponsor and produce a school annual. Congratulations! In the sec- ond place, and really more important, as you graduate this June, you are completing one significant phase of your life; but, you are, at the same time, really beginning another phase. A few of you will find work immediately, but most of you Will i go on to further education. Whatever your choice and whatever the future holds for you, may you always think first of what you can, within your abilities, contribute to the welfare of others-service to your community, devotion to your church, and loyalty to your family and to your home. Only as you give of yourself for the good of others, will you find happiness, true satisfaction, and peace of mind. My best wishes go with you.
