To the Class of 1963: One of the greatest joys that any of us can experience is the feeling of accomplishment when a worthwhile goal has been reached. Your gradu- ation from high school marks such an occasion and is a significant achievement in which you may take justifiable pride. It brings to a close one period of intellectual growth and development which has in some measure prepared you for responsible citizenship. Education, however, does not end with gradu- ation. It is a life process for which the skills, knowl- edge, understandings, and appreciations you have gained thus far serve as a foundation for continued growth. Build on this foundation to improve your- self and the changing world in which we live. Congratulations to you and best wishes for the years ahead. Edward B. Fillback Superintendent of Schools Public education presents a changing scene with constantly shifting emphases. In recent years the technological aspects of the curriculum have drawn close at- tention. When such changes occur in em- phases, we must be all the more alert to the effort necessary to maintain the con- tinuity of improvement in the quality of all areas of education. Achieving maximum competency in basic subjects is certainly a major objec- tive, but the pursuit of excellence in this alone is not enough for today's world. It is my fervent hope that with the close of this portion of your formal training you have not only attained subject matter mastery but have developed a strength- ened moral fiber and an understanding that with every right you also inherit a responsibility.

Yearbook Staff Suddenly it's your senior year! You can hardly believe that your high school days are coming to an end. The one activity you haven't taken part in yet is the yearbook, and now that you're a senior, you find the whole job of putting together the yearbook thrust onto your lap. You have to take over. You're determined to make it the best Cauldron ever. But there are deadlines to be met, articles to be written, and hun- dreds of photographs to be taken. It's a very discouraging job at times, but no class has given up yet. Some students work on the Cauldron because they like to write; others are interested in designing the cover; and of course there's the business end. You need few talents—a desire to help your senior class will do.
