J C. Deluhery Assistant Principal O O O As we write this note to the grad- uates of 1959 we find that McKinley is on the verge of securing a new building. In this worthwhile effort we have help from many of our former students. This much stands outp the students who had good school records are the graduates who become the most successful in life. There may be exceptions, but this seems to be true in most cases. We hope that McKinley students will do their best to have some share in the building of a new McKinley so that as years roll by they can point to the new building and say that they had a share in the making of MESSAGE TO THE GRADUATES the new school. Each time a school advances the value of each diploma improves. Each thing that a student or teacher does affects every other student and teacher. Let us make every effort to be- come all that we are capable of be- ing. Let us keep our feet on the ground and our eyes on Heaven. Let us proceed with humility and kindness towards all, and we shall probably have a much happier and more useful life than if we lived on a principle of selfishness. In Emerson's splendid words, Let us hitch our wagon to a star. O O O
