To some of us this first report card means more hours of study; to others it means a satisfied feeling that comes from a job well done. This year will not be an easy one, but it promises to be an outstanding one. We have much work before us, but it all leads to the most im- portant day in a senior’s life, graduation. Now in our minds are thoughts for the future; for what is in store for us in the years to come. On that night when we hold our diplomas in our hands, ire will look forward to a full and happy life because of the good training we have received at LRCHS. That will be the great beginning for us. 22

 The Most Beautiful High School In America LITTLE ROCK CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL 14th and Park Streets Little Rock, Arkansas Phone FRanklin 5-1285 May 1, 1956 Dear Seniors: Although the Class of 1956 is the largest class to graduate from Central High School, that is not its chief distinction. It has contributed much to the school and to the community in scholarship, in service and in leadership. It will soon be scattered into its individual parts, and its composite effectiveness will be gone, but the values which its members have gained will be perpetuated in each member of the class. Your twelve years of formal education have consisted of many experiences, some of them remembered, some forgotten. All of them have given you a background for that reflective thinking which can help you solve your problems and arrive at a successful and happy pattern of life. Recently I had a letter from a last year's graduate, rather a typical letter, I think. This graduate had found adjustment to college life hard, with many rebuffs and much unhappiness. Because of her ability to think reflectively, she had concluded that her troubles were mostly within herself. She is working now toward a successful college life through unselfish service and love for her fellow man. Perhaps your solu- tion to your problems will be a different one; but if it is based on the trained reflections on your experiences with the great discoveries and philosophies you have met in your twelve years of education, I am sure that you, too, can become a well-adjusted, happy young adult in whatever new surroundings you find yourself. Your inner spirit, your best self, your educated judgment will direct you. Cordially yours. JWM:lfp 24
