To Graduates, Students and Friends of North York High School Fifty years ago, the School Board of North York Borough organized a high school. Since that time many problems have faced the various school boards-among them the erection of two high school buildings, the founding of a junior high school, the addition of a commercial course, a home-making course, and an industrial arts course, as well as a physical education program. No doubt they were told these adventures would not be successful, but they proceeded bravely and met the challenges. To a very large extent the undertakings were successful. In forty-six commencements 1,365 persons were graduated. The class of 1953 consists of 63 students to be graduated in June. Many North York graduates have made valuable contribu- tions to society. Most important, they have established them- selves as respected members of our communities. Now it is your turn as members of the graduating class to do the same. Your goal should be two-fold: a desire to live a normal life in a peaceful world, and freedom to pursue the profession or occupation of your choice. North York High School can feel proud that it has given to society individuals who have had the following goals in mind: C' CLINTON RUBY A. B. Executives whose interest in their employees as fellow i men and women is not destroyed by a lust for profitsg Sales- men who serve their customers with truth and integrityg State College Teachers fired with the will to inspire their students to a life of accomplishmentg Ministers whose love of people is ex- ceeded only by their love of Godg Lawyers whose profes- sional conduct will be based upon right and justice, and not legal trickery. Supervising Principal Gettysburg College: Pennsylvania Engineers who have given to us the benefit of scientific progress: Nurses whose creed has been loving serviceg Laborers with the thought of helping all mankind rather than only an interest in self: Men and Women who have built homes for our generation and also future generations, whose first interest always was the rearing of a family that would bring honor to the community: Graduates who have a desire to put more into life than they ever expect to get out of it. If, fifty years from now, we can see the graduates from North York High School leave with the same freedom of choice that has been preserved for us, we can indeed feel proud. The road to your goals is hard and difficult. In high school you have been laying only the founda- tion. In building this foundation you have developed two of the most important phases of your per- sonal lives-personality and character. The true purpose of high school is to teach you to shape these two attainments, so that you can get along in the world. You haven't yet achieved your goalsg you have yet to be tested. Looking back at your community, your school, and your teachers, you should feel thankful for all that has been done for you. With such advantages, you should be ready to accomplish something in life, to achieve success in the fullest sense of the word. WILLIAM N. CRALEY, B. S., M. Ed. Principal East Stroudsburg Stale 'l'uaeher's College achievement or of intermittent successes only, it cannot be PBm'SY'Vf1 iH Siam Culloge altered. Like the spoken word or the spent arrow, it is not to be recalled. Your high school days here are all but over. Your record has been written. Whether this record is one of satisfying To go forth from high school satisfied with past results, however splendid, would be a grave error. Let your future course be set with a determination to exceed all accomplish- ments in the past. If your stay here has provided the ele- mental-basis for such future striving, the time spent has not been spent in vain. - Good luck to you as you leave high school and face the greater problems, responsibilities, and opportunities which lie ahead in a turbulent world.
