MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL We are living in an age in which Democracy vs. Communism is the discussion of the day. The quality of democracy in any community is measured by the total contributions made by individuals in their cooperative eiforts to attain accepted democratic goals. The individual contribution is the result of the degree of feeling he has for community welfare, and the satisfaction he has in his participa- tion in creating the community. If Democracy, with its emphasis upon the dignity of the individual, is to grow and endure, it is up to each high school graduate to do his part in making democracy work more effectively. With this conflict facing every boy and girl who graduates from our high school this year, I hope to see each one of you prove that you have a wide base of participation and influence and will prove you are a worthy citizen of so great a democratic country. This will remove the eye of suspicion from each one of you, and our country can hold its place of dignity throughout the world.
