fh DR. G. CLIFFORD SINGLEY Supervising Principal .5 79 1 1, 1, , flllllllllllllllllll llllln I llllllll 111111111 . cults wizmw 6 Z My congratulations to all ol you upon your recent accomplishment. For the past four years you have lived and reacted in a world which is only indica- tive ol the realistic world which you are about to enter. Like Dorothy, you have been confused and, at times, afraid. You have had, like Dorothy, an unusual experience not open to all young people throughout the world. Like Dorothy, you have been com- manded and moulded in your actions, but, unlike Dorothy, you have been given the opportunity to think freely, to make your own decisions, and to form the beginning of a pattern for your life. To live these four years in a schol- arly Oz has been an invaluable experience. Now the time has come for you to move on, away from the Emerald City of protected life and into a new realm, the real world of real people, more precious than any city constructed of gems. How well you apply the knowl- edge and ability to think gained in the academic enchanted world will determine whether you become a cowardly lion, a man of straw, a tin man, or a worthwhile person vital to a progressive world. Realize and utilize those things you have gained during your years in our academic Oz but also recognize that Oz is only a limited dream world. You are men and women now, not Dorothys skipping down a crooked road which leads only to momentary pleasures. My sincere best wishes to all of you.
