Robert J. Kaiser PRINCIPAL To the Class of 1966: In a few short months you will be graduating from high school. I am sure that many of you have been looking forward to this day with mixed emotions for a good part of the last thirteen years. Your class has the honor of being the largest class ever to graduate from Monticello High School. What have you learned during your high school years? I knoiv you have learned some mathematics, some English, some social studies, some typing, some music, some science, etc. I hope this is not all you have learned, for if it is you have wasted your opportunity in school. I hope you have also learned to understand your fellow man and how to live with him in a free society. I hope you have learned to respect him for his point of view, regardless of whether or not you like him or desire him for a friend. I hope you have learned to accept honors and success with humility and to face de- feat and sorroiv with courage. I hope you have learned to think things out before coming to a decision, but once the decision is reached, have the courage of your convictions regardless of the outcome. If you have learned things as these in addition to your academic subjects, then your years in school have been profitable ones. I hope that each one of you will strive to secure all the education possible — whether it be formal educa- tion, or if that is not feasible, self education. Our country needs ivell-trained men and women who are will- ing to give their time and energy to help strengthen the democratic processes. You can accomplish this by being active in the social, religious, political and recreational life of the community in which you live. Only by giving of yourselves ivill you be able to help our country maintain a position of importance in the world of tomorrow. I want to thank each of you, the members of the Class of 1966, for all that you have done to make our school a better place and I sincerely hope that the years ahead ivill bring to you all the rewards which you deserve. 5 Robert J. Kaiser
