My Dear Graduates The problem of good and evil has never been simple. It is especially com- plicated today when the newspaper headlines, radio and television shock us daily with the extent of crime and of irresponsibility in high places. I hope that no matter how shocked or displeased you are by the miscon- duct of others you will not lose faith in the good. The idea that every- body does is the thing to do is basi- cally false. Despite periodic declines in public morality, our America has grown great because the vast majority of people are decent and good. Should the integrity of most of our people be destroyed, then America would invite the disaster which overcame Persia, Egypt, Greece and Rome. The value of the education you have received here in Long Beach will be revealed in the quali- ties of citizenship you display in the future. The srength of America is the strength of its young citi- zens like yourselves. DAVID G. SALTEN Superintendent of Schools

Dear Graduates: My sincerest congratulations to you. You have reached an important milestone in your life. True, you have termed yourself as adults but in reality you have been so under parental supervision. Now you will first experience adulthood on your own. It's quite different, you know. Many of you will go to an out-of- town college where the only contact with your parents will be through the mail. You will find yourself having to make many decisions without consultation and no cushioning for you by anyone. Some of you will be finding employ- ment where again you must be effective, and be useful to someone else without aid from home. This is all part of growing up and be- coming real, worthwhile men and women. We have given you many basic skills. We have tried to show you how to be useful citizens, how to get along with others and how to assume responsibility for yourself and for others We have tried to instill in your minds the importance of thinking clearly and thoroughly and to delve deeply into problems and not superfiicially. We hope that you can look back upon the past four years as a good beginning for what lies ahead of you, and that it will be the spring-board for the success and happiness you deserve and of which you are capable. JOSEPH BORZILLERI Principal To the Graduates of l952:- Cur schools have kept us free. The American people have demanded much of education. They have been served well and faithfully, by our schools and educators. You are the product of this demo- cratic tradition. Courage and confi- dence in yourselves are the only real answers to today's problems. Your teachers, your parents, your community, are proud of you. Our very best wishes to all of you. JACK STERNBACI-I President, Board of Education SEVEN
