ONCRATULATIONS to this fine senior class of 1959. l trust that you have cn- joyed your four years at Lawrence as much as we have enjoyed having you. May you con- tinue your achievements in the future to such an extent that we at Lawrence can join your parents in being proud of you and your accom- plishments. yas, MR. FRANK KRIZ Assistant Principal Nlli. J A MES SllVllVl0Nl7S l'rin1'ipul Y sincere best wishes to the graduates of the Class of 1959 fmay you all experience a lifc of rich fulfillment and the successful real- ization of many of your plans. As you enter adulthood you will be tempted many times to waylay or even discard basic truths and nlores of our society. During these difficult times one must resort to a staunch ad- herence to basic beliefs that we acquire at home, in school and at church. The strength of our freedom and our country is based on the spirit of Plato. Freedom,', he says, is no mat- ter of laws and constitutions: only he is frec who realizes the divine order within himself, the true standard by which a man can steer himself.

MR. .4RTllUll W. fI00lVlllS Superinlemlen! of Schools HE opportunity given to our students to exercise free choice in the selection of a career is an important part of the American way of life. Unfortunately., however, the same system of freedom of choice that we prize so highly for its recognition of the importance of the individual, results in occasional shortages in fields of special need. Motivated by artificial standards and values created by the society in which we live, too many capable high school and college students have subordinated the pub- lic welfare, and their own also, to individual financial success. Because of our system of free enterprise, many families in this area have a substantially better-than-average income, with the result that some Lawrence students could well afford to enter the service areas-to choose careers in teaching, scientific investigation, religion, the arts, and even politics. These pursuits, perhaps relatively unattractive from the economic point ol' view, offer the greatest possible opportunity for personal satisfaction. ln Ihem there is also tl need for well qualified people. HE many and varied experiences you have had during your four years in high school were intended to afford an opportunity for you to become personally and socially effective. lf the school has been successful in its program, and if you have capitalized upon it to the best of your individual ability, you should now pos- sess the background which will make it possible for you to move forward toward the realization of your personal goals and the fulfillment of your obligation to make a substantial contribu- tion to the well-being of others. Let me extend to each one of you lny con- gratulations upon your graduation and my sin- cere wishes for your continued happiness. Qs, ss., WIN. HENRY ll.
