Manheim Central High School - Stiegel Rose Yearbook (Manheim, PA)

Page 15 text:

The class of 1959 has once again set a record when in September, 114 seniors were enrolled in 'the Man- heim Central High School and it should also set a new record for the number of graduates in June. The future belongs to those with the best trained minds and skillsf, This statement from a contempo- rary writer presents a challenge to our nation. It is impossible for all of us to be in the above mentioned class. But those who have not taken full advantage of their opportunities in the past years will find it is still not too late to improve their talents so that they may meet and accept the ever increasing responsibilities that are confronting us on a local, national and inter- national level. Those who have met their recent obliga- tions to the best of their ability must continue with even greater zeal to further train their minds and develop additional skills. May I congratulate the staff for the preparation of another fine yearbook and each member of the class of 1959 for his achievement so far and wish all of you the greatest success in the future. D. W. WITMER, Principal Manheim Central High School It is a most pleasant assignment for me to offer my sincere congratulations to the graduating class of 1959. Life has been fun for most of you up to this point. Now, you are entering a stage of life that offers many challenges. These challenges will lead each of you into many different areas of endeavor. Work and more work will constitute your daily diet. I trust that your twelve years in the public schools of Manheim Central shall aid you tremendously in attaining what- ever goals or ambitions you have set up as a target. Again, congratulations and good luck to each and every member of the Class of 1959. R. A. VVEITZEL, Assistant Principal Manheim Central High School

When graduation day comes you will likely say, lt has come all too soon. This will be a normal reaction as you look back over your school years. The time spent in school will now appear to have been amazingly brief. Your formal education in June 1959 will be ended for many of you who do not contemplate post high school education. Whether you plan to go to college or not you will suddenly become aware of a startling fact--the fact that both time and opportunities slipped T away from you. This may bring you a feeling of remorse, but this will not recover any losses sus- tained. As seniors you possess the moral and mental ma- turity to look forward allowing your past to serve as a reminder of the value of time and the wisdom of grasping opportunities that shall appear henceforth. Now you will do well to make good use of your strength and abilities that can carry you into greater achievement and into happier days. You are, in fact, young adults who may assume the role of inspiring others who have not as yet reached the milestone of graduation. Again, your maturity has made you eligible to take your place in your community as a responsible and good citizen. You may already have acquired a job. This will be a new venture. Having shown yourself a worthy student in your high school days you will now play the role of a worthy employee giving proof to the success of your school life. You will be expected to think for yourself and to act courageously when confronted with problems and responsibilities. Whatever your lot may be, meet the challenge with determination and vigor. Your friends and your school will revere your efforts as you tackle the difficult, and, what is sometimes called the impossible. Plan for big things but remember that logic reminds us that small achievements are prerequisite to big ones. You will be rewarded with successes. At times you will be jolted by failures. Despite the reverses that inevitably will arise, you can win many a struggle and many a race by engaging your full strength and the courage of an indomitable spirit. Graduation should be a happy experience, a thrilling climax to pleasant associations. This is a good time to take a good, long, deliberate look into the future. The. school that had the pleasure of affording you an education, in turn will be honored by anything creditable that you may accomplish at home or any other area of service. The motto of a well known organiza- tion is, HService above Selff' May you find it possible to make it yours. V , My personal wish for each one of you, to the extent of the years of a full life time, is that you may enjoy good health, that your days may be filled with happiness, and that you may be prosperous in a worthy vocation or profession. Accept my heartiest congratulations for your reaching this coveted goal. Also, please accept our invitation to return to your Alma Mater whenever convenient to you. DR. H. G. BUCHER, Supervising Principal Manheim Central High School I0
