A LETTER TO THE FACULTY Dear Teachers, Three cheers lor our faculty from the students of Vocational High! Cheers, as a tribute for all you have done for us. In spite of our childish antics, the jokes we thought were smart, and the blank responses that often met your serious lectures, deep down, we are grateful to you. We arc grateful to you for: Teaching us our trades. Because of your patience and skill, each one of Vocational’s students is equipped to earn his own living. Therefore, because of you, he is prepared to stand on his own feet—to make his own way. Opening up our minds. Because of you, we have become more conscious of the world in which we live, its problems, and the part we play in solving them. But most of all, you have revealed to us the real worth of ourselves and our abilities. As you survey each graduating class, your thoughts must wander back to the day when the seniors first entered Vocational. They came as untried and untrained tenth graders. Three years later, these same students leave Vocational with hands and minds trained by you. They go into the community prepared to serve. They go as good citizens. As each graduate leaves, he carries with him ideas and ideals molded by his teachers—by Vocational. So each one takes with him always, wherever he my go, a part of his school. Dear teachers, we owe you much. We have tried to tell you how we feel about it—what is in our hearts. Please accept our gratitude for everything—for your guidance, training, and your friendship. Sincerely, The Student Body of Vocational High School
