Comments from the Superintendent The school year 1952 is dra dng to a close ami on June 5th you will he identified as a graduate of Mt. Pleasant High School. I conuneud you for your worthy achievement. I remember reading a motto. ' We have crossed the Bay in safety hut the Ocean lies in View. ' You are at this point in your academic achieve- ment. The Bav represents the tools of learning supplied during your four years of work. The Ocean— the vast opportunities that lie ahead. The world todav is a victim of misdirected intelligence. You people have been equipped with the knowledge and the wisdom which will make you worthwhile citizens of service to your country and to your fellow- men. Use the knowledge you have gained to the further development of the individual and to benefit all the people. I am sure if vou show the same willingness in crossing the Ocean as you have shown in your four years of high school you will cross in safety and find an opportunity in life worth while. Good Luck!
