ADMINISTRATION The difficult task of serving the best interest of all students belongs to the administration. Long and dedicated hours are put into this labor. Not only does the administration build a strong edu- cational program for the students it also brings to all students a realization of the future: its op- portunities, its challenges. Too often we lay our complaints at the administration s door. How often do we express our appreciation for their accomplishments? Alan Weiss — Superintendent of Schools Bruce Stewart — Principal 6

To the Class of 1970, Congratulations and Best Wishes. These sentiments are oft-repeated, but occasionally are not fully understood, which is not at all unusual with set phrases. However, congratulations implies a success- ful conclusion to a job well done. And such is certainly the case for your Class. No other re- cent Age has known the dilemmas and the frustrations of maturing and acquiring knowl- edge as has yours. You have never known a day free of war or rumors of war. You have never known your country completely unified or free of dissent. You have never been assailed from all sides — social, political, and environmental — with offers of a more tempting, exciting, and all-fulfilling life. To these offers some in your Age have ascribed, while others among you have buttressed yourselves with a deeper desire for more fact-finding and knowledge before making your de- cisions and deciding your course of action. But, through all, you have persevered and grown. To be growing up today is more than risky business, however; it is greatly exciting. You will be making de- cisions concerning life on this planet and others in our solar system. No other Age has been offered this chal- lenge. Your knowledge, your insight and your perception should equip you well as you now assume your roles of the future. Here, your perseverance will insure your continued growth. Life has decreed you a special, but not impossible mission. Be not deterred by the matters of trivia that will be scattered in your paths as you travel forward. Your mission is the future; its environment, its life, and its promise. Thus the conviction truly expressed, for a past that has been good and a mission that is possible: Congratulations and Best Wishes to the Class of 1970. Bruce E. Stewart — Principal Ladies and Gentlemen of the Class of 1970: Had I the opportunity to speak with each of you personal- ly before you leave us after these four short years, I think I would ask you to live by the words of John H. Rhoades, who said, “Do more than exist, live. Do more than touch, feel. Do more than read, absorb. Do more than hear, listen. Do more than listen, understand. Do more than think, ponder. Do more than talk, say something.” My life has been fuller by knowing you. Good luck, and may God be with you always. 7 Peter J. Beck Asst. Principal
