To The Class of 1948 of N. A. C. H. S. You, the graduating class of 1948, may well be one that will long be remembered in the history of the New Athens High School. Many of you have special abilities, mentally, physically and socially. From these abilities several of you have added to the prestige of New Athens High School and have gained prestige for yourselves. Others of you have just reached that point in your lives when you can begin to realize your capabilities. Some of you will continue your formal education. You should be commended for your choice. There are others who could profit by further schooling and should consider the advantages of taking such a step. The time and money spent in this would be well repaid in later life. The rest of you will acquire your education through experience. Your preparation to meet the demands of life is not as adequate as it would be if you continued in school, but it is the best that the facilities of N. A. C. H. S. and your efforts will permit. All of you have the best wishes of the Faculty and student body in whatever you undertake. R. A. Neal, Principal
