BRUCE A. GOODRICH High School Principal To you Seniors, students of Millcreek today, active citizens of the nation tomorrow, my final word would be something like this-Don't think too much about yourself. Try to cultivate the habit of thinking of othersg this will reward you. Selfishness always brings its own revenge which we cannot escape. Life is a place of service and in that service one may suffer a great deal or may experience much joy, That joy can be real only if you look upon your life as a service and have a dehnite objective in life outside yourself and your personal happiness. Every person has two educations-one which he receives from others and one, more important, which he gives himself. Education is a possession which nothing can take from you, but money or property may be lost or dissipated. Your outlook on life has a great deal to do with what your life really is. Try to live a sincere life and repel every thought of discontent, impurity and selffseeking. A man succeeds because he has faith in himself and his fellowmen. l should like to quote this verse from an unknown author: 'The world has garlands and applause At graduation time But may forget him the next day When he attempts to climb. Life is a battle where each one Must seek and hold his own. He who would 'rise above the clouds Must scale the heights alone. We wish to congratulate you, class of 1949, upon the completion of the high school course and may you experience the joy that comes from tasks well done. Will you in your round of life activities think sometimes of your high school. which sent you forth with a broader vision of life? Sincerely, Bruce A.

JAMES S. WILSON Superiixsine Principal As a graduating class is about to leave Millcreek High School, I End myself wondering what the years have given you here beside book knowledge. Have they given you ideals that make you good followers of the right pattern of living? A recent article in the Post impressed upon educators the idea that society needs great leaders far less than it does honest, intelligent, and courageous followers. Schools should stress this more. All of you could not be leaders while in school. But, while here you were given an equal opportunity in all activities, by voting for your leaders, participating in debate and class discussions, by engaging in the social and sports program of the school. This participation has developed in you ideals of responsibility, equality and cooperation, and the desire to follow those ideals as you take your place as citizens. As a good follower you will think freely, choosing carefully whom and what you follow, rejecting all ismsn which threaten the democratic pattern of living. You can help to keep this pattern intact by following your ideals of responsibility in exercising your right to vote, demanding leaders who reflect your ideals. You can help by reflecting your ideals of equality and co' operation, in demanding equal rights for all regardless of race or color. You can help by following your ideals of religion. forgetting creeds and remembering that without it all ideals are in vain. Congratulations to the Class of 1949. Choose well whom and what you will follow. bl. S. Wilsoii 'Q fm MRS. RU'I'I'I BLAIR MRS. SHIRLEY KESTLE -.QV f-Q-M140 .R vv , .. - . il: f 'sig Secretaries to the Principals 1 0
