New Oxford High School - Memento Yearbook (New Oxford, PA)

Page 24 text:

The years roll around swiftly and I am sure you can hardly believe your high school days are now only a memory. May you always display the virtues you have learned and be conscientious in all your endeavors. Our nation is in need of a younger generation who stresses such virtues as integrity, loyalty, and courage. Expect only the best from others and never give less in return. Mr. Edgar A. Reitzel Vice Principal As graduating seniors, most of you have made the all important decision . .. “What will 1 do with my life?” Surely it is one of the most important decisions you will ever be called upon to make. In a host of occupations and businesses, new goals are waiting to be won. Young people everywhere are moving into a position to compete for those goals and will need to take every opportunity to reach those goals through hard work and love of mankind. For many, the only limits to your success will be the limits of your own ambition. Congratulations and best wishes to each of you in your future endeavors. 20 Mr. Lewis D. Hillard Assistant Superintendent

You are the 69th class to graduate from and become a part of the history of New Oxford High School. You are also the 69th class to carry the history of New Oxford High School out into future society, for each of you has been shaped by and bears the marks of the experiences you have had at New Oxford. Some of these experiences may have come as sudden insights so exciting that they have been burned upon your memory never to be forgotten, or they may have come through slow, monotonous drills that now leave you at a loss to say when you really did come to learn by them. Some could have been the shining examples of a popular teacher or student in a singular happening, or they could have been the quiet, unsung but steady exemplary lives of one of these and many others. Maybe they were the victory in some contest; and the defeat in another. Mr. Cleo M. Wildasin Superintendent It is not for us to see it all clearly or to know what the future holds, but the experiences planned were with the hope that the society in which you will participate will be one that continues to value the worthiness of each individual, a society that looks to a democracy to govern us, a free enterprise system to meet our economic needs, and a God to guide us spiritually and morally toward justice. We hope that you shall never know war, but may the school experiences, from the classroom to the playing field, also help you to meet any threats to peace and give you the resolve, character, skills, and knowledge needed to defend what your conscience tells you is worth defending, even at the cost of your life. Finally, and above all else, it is a good life lived in peace that we wish for all of the members of the Class of ’81 honored by this yearbook. 19
