NORTHAMPTON SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL NORTHAMPTON, PENNSYLVANIA Office of the Superintendent Sincere Congratulations to you, the members of the Class of 1941, the largest class to graduate from Northampton High School to date. Surely you must feel that the honor of graduation amply repays any sacrifices you may have made. The very fact that you have achieved something in an educational way, places an obligation upon you. You owe a debt to society for having made it possible for you to receive a liberal education. This debt is more real today than ever before because of the crisis now facing our American way of living. We feel certain that your activities as citizens of one of the few remaining democracies on Earth will be in accordance with the principles of true Americanism. Cordially yours. Superintendent

You will have to face the fact that you, and you alone, must accept the responsibility for your success. With the training you have received in school you have the right to believe in yourself, and as you leave our school, 1 congratulate you and wish for your continued success. of authors from another class has finished the task which marks the Cordially yours, Principal
