Superinlemfent 'it James H. Vander Ven, Superintendentg Nancy Kleen, Secretary Seniors: June 4, 1953 is a day you will long remember because it marks certain accomplishments and opens up new horizons. There are three days in each week which concern us - Yesterday - Today - and Tomorrow. Yesterday, though it cannot be recalled, determines in a measure what today and tomorrow will be. Today is a most important day to live, act, think, and serve. Today is the day of opportunity. Tomorrow offers new hopes and promises. May we live each day so that it may be strictly scruti- nized by our God and our fellowmen. Congratulations, seniors, and may each day you live be full, blessed and happy. Sincerely your friend, James H. Vander Ven Superintendent 0 0 Seniors: Graduation day is drawing near, and most of you are thinking of the near future. My desire is that the making of your future may be such that when you have reached that time when one thinks more of the past than of the future-- that your-book of memories may be mem- ories of golden days, which will Cheer you-, Richard M. Demlow, Principalg Jo Ann Walker, Secretai which will keep your thoughts bright. I hope that the years of training in our school and the years spent in prepar- ation have given you a basis for making wise choices and decisions throughout your life.

DeMartin To the Class of 1953: The Board of Education congratulates you upon your ap- proaching graduation. Your public school education has meant much work and effort on the part of students, faculty, administration, and the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars of public money. We hope and believe that all this work and effort, and all this expense, has been worth-while. Time will demonstrate that their value to you depends upon your own contributions. Much might be said about the difficulties of the future: but the word for you here should be one of encouragement. As old Rabbi Ben Ezra put it, over a century ago: Trust God: see all, nor be afraid. The best wishes of the Board go with you as you graduate from Mason High. Raymond H. McLean Secretary, Board of Education T I 5-if X Q ' it lf' g ,lea I Dee Bray R. R.
