To the Class of 1961 : Much preparation goes into every stage production, and those which succeed in catching the attention of the public and be- come fabulously successful, sometimes have no more prepara- tion than those which fail. In school life, the opportunities and preparation for adult life is there for all, but just as in plays, some of the performers are successful and others are not. In both instances, preparation and the quality of the perform- ance are important. Try-outs in plays eliminate some applicants as not suitable for the part. Try-out courses in your early years of high school helped steer you into the areas of study where you thought you would be rewarded with success. The fact that you are graduating indicates you have been somewhat successful, al- though your main goals are yet to be achieved. Often a prompter supplies the cue which makes an actor a brilliant performer and successful actor. We sincerely hope that our promptings as teachers have helped each of you along the road to success. I wish great things for our graduates as they move across the stage of life. Timothy A. O'Brien Principal ADMINISTRATION To the Class of 1961: All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely playersfl This well known quotation from the famous work of VVilliam Shakespeare is as applicable today to the individual person as when he wrote it. Throughout life each member of the senior class will play many parts. You have chosen Broadway plays as the theme for your year- book. Before the thrill of an opening night much planning and preparation take place. In like manner, as you approach the time of your graduation from high school, years of plan- ning with your parents and teachers have helped you reach this goal. Some Broadway plays are more successful than others. The degree of their success depends a great deal upon their appeal to the public and the talent and skill with which they are presented. Your success in future activities will depend upon your training and enthusiasm for whatever occupation or pro- fession you choose to follow. As you leave Niagara Falls High School, may I extend my congratulations and best wishes for a very happy and success- ful future. Leah M. Simmons Vice-Principal 8
