Page 2 THE FACULTY OUR PRINCIPAL MR. HAL F. NUSBAUM Dear Graduate, As my first year at Maxson ends, your first year at the high school is about to begin, We have learned a lot together, and your teachers and I have watched you grow, Enjoy your summer thoroughly, and as you enter the high school on the threshold of young adulthood remember the friends you will always have at Maxson - your teachers whose success is undeniably reflected in your future, Whatever you do, do it to the best of your ability, Remember well that the one asset you will never lose is knowledge, and the real power in life is BRAIN POWER, Show everybody through your efforts and cooperation that you are a Maxson graduate - you are somebody special! Sincerely, Hal F, Nusbaum, Principal Maxson Middle School Page 4 THE VICE-PRINCIPALS SA es MR.
