Dear Seniors: Congratulations! As you look back over twelve years of education, you can readily see much that you have accomplished in school. You have learned to write and to speak effectively, to reason and to think, to under- stand the physical world and to use mathematics, to know something of man's social, political, economic and artistic endeavors, and to improve your health and physical strength. You will need to continue to learn for the world changes ever more rapidly and new skills and knowledge are needed. And, of course, you have really just begun to understand the world and to develop the best possible skills. But there are many things that are not so easy to see. You have learned how to get along with others and what to expect of them and yourself. I believe that you have come to value honesty, fair play, and kindness in others and that you strive for these things in yourselves. If my belief is correct, then the future is in good hands. By best and warmest regards to you. Good luck. Sincerely, C. Newlon Principal OFFICERS Dear Seniors: It is traditional that each graduating class receive mes- sages from speakers, principals, public ofhcials, etc. To many of you, these really leave little lasting impressions. Usually, you have more interesting and important things on your mind at the time. Consequenty, I wonder how effective my letter is going to be. I hope you all read this and that it will be effective. The biggest and most important task facing you is the development of a sincere sense of moral right and, further more, realization of your obligation toward your children in this respect. As I see it, this is the biggest task facing our country. We parents have failed you in this respect. We are too willing to overlook things which we know are not right. But the truth of the matter is you are hurt. You are learning it is perfectly all right to lower standards - it is perfectly all right to break the law a little bit. This will only stop when the adults of the country become convinced that it isn't all right to do these things. Then and only then can we as a country begin to move forward again. I As I said before, I hope you read this and, more important, I hope it means something to you. If it does, you should find yourself re-reading it many times over. My most sincere best wishes go to each one of you. Sincerely, A. J. Trocchi Vice-Principal
