Mr. S. L. Lester, Principal Principal's Message Dear Class of 1969, Whither goest thou? This is a question that I am sure each of you has considered over the years with varying degree of seriousness.'' Come June 12, 1969, however, none of you will be able to afford the luxury of idle and float- ing thoughts about this question, for the security and comfort afforded by the walls of Dear Lee M, Waid will no longer obtain. The indolent among you may contend that 'whatever will be, will be''-- that the courses which our lives will take are wholly dependent upon forces outside of us. I contend otherwise. And, the lives of scores of men and wo- men are testimony to this contention. Suppose that Abraham Lincoln had been content to just drift with the tide of circumstances which influenced his early life. Suppose that he had accepted as fact that he was meant to be poor and illiterate; the entire course of our country's history would have been drastically different. And suppose that Booker T. Washington had accepted slavery as his intended lot. There would be no Tuskegee Institute with its thousands of graduates mak- ing significant contributions to communities all over the world. And suppose that Elizabeth Koontz had accepted her blackness and her femaleness as being permanent barriers against any appreciable rise in Ameri- can education's white, male world; she would not have become the first black woman to head the 1,000,000-member National Educational Association. History is replete with such men and women who have dared to set their Sights upstream against the tide of adversity. I challenge you then, to order your own lives according to purposes and aspirations which you, and you alone determine, and pursue these purposes and aspirations with a vengeance. And, should yournames not land upon the list of the great, they will assuredly land high on the list of the self-fulfilled. Mrs. Louise Prunty, Assistant Principal
