The excellent reputation that our school enioys today, in both scholastic and extracurricular activities, is the result of the cooperative effort of students and staff members alike, down through the years. We must continue to work, not only to maintain, but to build upon this fine reputation. By so doing, the words, There is cz high school in the valley, which is lacking not in fame ...'

Each year, l appreciate more the privilege of working with you students of M.A.D. Your ideal- ism and your enthusiasm are in the best traditions of our school. These same qualities of idealism and enthusiasm will make it possible tor you to achieve greatly in the years ahead. Sometimes when we think of the inventions ot the past titty years-the automobile, the airplane, radio, television-we wonder it there is anything lett tor the future. Be assured that the achieve- ments ot your generation will most certainly be greater than those of the past. Our scientists and leaders of thought in every realm of endeavor constantly tell us that the opportunities for the future will surpass anything we have known thus tar. New and greater inventions, new patterns for social advances are waiting for the genius and industry of the youth of today. For those who, like you, possess qualities of leadership- including the desire to be ot service to your fellows-there will be a great new era ot accomplishment. STANLEY C. McCLlNTIC Superintendent'
