PRINCIPAUS MESSAGE To The Class of '52 You have completed four years of hard labor and arrived at a worthy goal, which has seemed sometimes, a long and difficult attainment. You are ready to assume the obligations of an active citizen, and I urge that you do this with a willing heart and an earnest mind. Some of you will continue your education in schools of higher learningg others will undertake various vocations. There still maybe many with the ability to guide and the courage to resist, but they seem to underestimate the importance of that ability and that courage and will fail to exercise either. The greater your intelligence and the more profound your learning, the deeper your obligations, particularly if you agree, as you must, with Gamaliel Bradford who said, Goverrr'nent is that which tries to teach distinction between good and ill, to spread large knowledge of the pact and fill men's minds with high, serene philos ophie s . We bid you farewell from this institution as students, but we rejoice in the future that lies before you. What opportunities for self-expression, and what chances for civic leadership are yours? How admirably will you improve these opportunities and utilize those chances? I wish to congratulate you on the part of the faculty and the board of education for successfully completing your four years of training and Corning to the realiza- tion of your aspirations and dreams. We are sincerely proud of you, may God forever bless you and keep you. 6 Q-..1....4...4.
