Superintendent ' s Message I urge members of your class in making plans for the future to think carefully of en- tering the teaching profession. This field will have many opportunities. It has been esti- mated that in the next ten years, there will be need for more new teachers than in the last thirty -five years. Teaching is the oldest profession; great teachers of the past have received outstanding recognition. Teaching was the first means by which civilized man perpetuated what he had learned and so raised S. the level of each generation. The financial reward in teaching is now good, and is steadily improving as society is recog- nizing the importance of education. Teachingis no easy task. It is a challenge to the most capa- ble. I hope many in the class will accept the challenge. A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops. - Henry Brooks Adams Laurence G. Nourse Principal ' s Message You, the class of 1956, are undertaking your last major project; and as you grow older, your thoughts will mellow and this book will become a source of enjoyment. Your assistance in school events has aided your social education; but the greatest self help has come from the effort given to your daily class preparations. This becomes a partial prepara- tion for life and should make you ready to meet future problems. Many positions are being created so that all may obtain work advancements by being able to think things through. There are elec- tronics for those interested in mathematics I : m and science; and there is the Civil Service, too, which in many cases, will help you adapt to your future station in life. The school officials and the faculty wish you success. Let the willingness to work, guide you to your future employment. Charles S. Randall
