MR. H. LEON GILBERT Principal Address to the Class of 1963 SENIORS OF 1963: You have now arrived at one of the important mile-stones in your lifeg perhaps the most important one. Graduation from high school - the ending of one phase of your life, the beginning of another. Minutes, days and years have passed previous to this event. They will never come again. Have you used this time wisely? Along with your fun have you obtained a good high school education? If you have graduated from the Business Education course, can you go out and get employment in your field? If you selec- ted the Vocational course, are you able to get the kind of job you want and advance in that work? If your ambition is to go to college or some other post high school institution where advanced learning is given and you can prepare for your chosen profession, is your ambition about to be realized? If you can answer these questions affirma- tively then you have made good use of your time and are to be highly commended. There is no reason whatsoever for not being prepared to take the next step forward if you have chosen and acted wisely. Suppose you are not prepared for the next step forward. Is all lost, Should you give up your dreams and ambitions? Not at all. It is just going to be a little more difficult and take a little longer. You may have wasted your timeg you may have goofed. You may even now wish you had taken full advantage of the opportunities offered in high school. Do not give up. You have had a set-back, but you can overcome it if you have what it takes to succeed. Become more determinedg make your plans and work. Let your failures and your disappoint- ments be stepping stones to go forward. lf you do this I am sure your success will be assured. Most sincere best wishes to each member of the class of 1963 for a successful and worthwhile life. H. LEON GILBERT, Principal
