ADMINISTRATION To The Class Of 1950: At this time I wish to join your legion of friends in wishing you a long and successful career. The laws of characier are as interdependent as the laws of science. The administration and faculty have observed your conformity to these laws. Your conduct as students, especially seniors, proves your understanding of these immutable laws that make up your character. The tuture is yours! Most cordially yours, RUSSELL STETLER Supervising Principal To The Class Of 1950: You are about to enter into a world of unrest and strife. Nations fight against nations. Labor wars against big busi- ness. Children become increasingly rebellious against authority. The one word strife spells the condition of affairs in the home, in politics, in education, in industry and in the world. The Spiritual life of our people is sadly wanting. Rever- ence for parents, reverence for the Sabbath Day is lacking. People seem to be more interested in the baser pleasures of the world than in education, in cultural life and the finer things of life. You are in a position to change all of this. You have learned to search for true values in life. You have learned to keep calm and serene because you have used your abilities to think through problems to their successful con- clusion. You have learned that the best things in life come from clear thinking and arduous labor. Remember this, Excellence is never granted, it is the reward for labor. Best wishes for your happiness and success. JOHN E. BENNETT Principal To The Class Of 1950: I wish to thank the members of the class of 1950 for the cooperation which they have given me this year. You seniors have made a difficult job less difficult for me. If you carry this same spirit of cooperation all through life, I am sure it will pay you big dividends. Sincerely JOHN J. SHEA Vice Principal
