MR. GRAFF'S MESSAGE I was about to say good luck to you as your school years close and you face a new venture, but I shall not. Luck does determine some careers or some portions of some careers, but the great majority of them are written by training, determination, and effort. Wendell Wilkie, after his European trip, commented upon the reservoir of good will that the United States possessed in various parts of the world. He considered this a powerful asset in support of our good will as a marketable commodity and enforces contracts where good will is sold for a valuable consideration. It is my advice to you, as you carefully plan your future, that you will not overlook the importance of so adjusting yourself to those with whom you come in contact that they will respect you and have confidence in you—their good will will be a real asset to you sooner or later. We usually think of tangible and material things as being the basis of sales and loans. But there have been many instances when the only security offered was honesty—good will likewise can become bankable paper. MR. MacDONALD'S MESSAGE This Annual, or Yearbook, has been published by, and is dedicated to, the Senior class, and will stand as a reminder of the accomplishments of that class and the honors attained. It is a mark of achievement for every single member of that class, for each has dug in, hung on, and completed a phase of his education that will be of ever-increasing value to him in this complex world of ours. It is right that this book should primarily honor the graduating Seniors, but I am hoping it will, in so doing encourage more of our student body to hang on till that diploma is won. We have had a discouragingly large number of students drop out during this school year—a total of eleven to date, plus at least six students of last year who did not re-enroll. This high percentage of dropouts has given the administration cause to consider carefully the curricular offerings of our high school, and ask if we are providing the courses needed by students of this community. But in addition to this possibility, I feel many have been drawn away because of failure to understand what a basic education, or lack of it, can do to one’s career, and because of the immediate, but perhaps temporary, lure of the Army, Navy, present job opportunities, and early marriage. So I salute the members of this Senior class, honor them for their achievement, and earnestly hope a larger percentage of our entering students, encouraged by their example, will win through to the end.
