Wherever you are in life--be it during your high school career or thereafter--you will always have friends to call upon from the Maxson faculty. You have helped us set the tone for a new Maxson this year, and it has been a very positive year for classroom teaching and student learning. During your stay at Maxson you have shown to us a great deal of growth and maturity and have proven that you are an important person in a very unique way, different ftom any of your friends. Continue to be yourself and to express yourself in appropriate, acceptable ways so that you can influence the educational atmosphere around you, but while you endeavor to enjoy your years at the high school level, do not lose sight of your major goal. That goal, of course, is the education and practical knowledge and stimulation that you must have to stand you in good stead in the future. Work hard, have fun, and let nothing stand between you and a significant learning experience every single day. os : Zs (Of Le Ce He Id eb A Hal F. Nusbaum, Principal Thomas J.
