MR. RICHARD W. HANN Supervising Principal My best wishes and congratulations to the class of 1962, Your class is entering a fast changing world in which it is impossible for us as a nation to stand still. Each of you must contribute your best so that the free world may survive. bf Francis W. .fKelly L -Business and industry in the past twenty- five years have been keenly aware of the vast changes that have taken place in our society. They have also demonstrated that they have learned to accommodate themselves to this rapid, almost incredible, change. As high school students or graduates, you must be sure that your educational preparation takes into account what has happened and will happen in our country by the time you become a more dominant part of our society. Education becomes more demanding, more complex, more necessary, and more rewarding with each passing day. As seniors you have taken a much smaller step in your total education than you would have if you had been graduating in 1900. Perhaps the greatest need in the world todaylis for a more highly educated citizenry. I therefore hope that you recognize that this small step is the beginning of a long walk toward the fulfillment of your greatestlcapacity for education and achievement.

Messoge From Our Boorcl President I believe I can do no better in my message than these two quotations. One is by James Baldwin in the New York Times Book Review of January 14th, 1962. I have taken the liberty to change a word here and there to make it pertain more directly to you, rather than paraphrase it. You are the generation that must throw everything into the endeavor to remake America into what we say we want it to be. Without this endeavor, we will perish. However immoral or subversive this may sound to some, it is you who must always remember that morality, if it is to remain or become morality, must be perpetually examined, cracked, changed, made new. You must remember, however power ful the many who would rather forget, that life is the only touchstone and that life is dangerous, and that without the joyful acceptance of this danger, there can never be any safety for anyone, ever, anywhere. Not everything that is faced can be changedg but nothing can be changed until it is faced. The principal fact that we must now face is that the time has now come for us to turn our backs forever on the big two-hearted river? The 2nd quotation is by President Kennedy in his introduction to To Turn The Tide by John F, Kennedy, edited by John W, Gardner. In 1961 the American people awakened as never before to the sober realization of the perils that beset our nation. Early complaints about the harsh sound of candor in the place of complacency gave way to a grim determination to do whatever had to be done to preserve both peace and freedom, There has also been a growing recognition that we must fit our power to our responsi- bilities, and that those tasks which are within our hopes and hopefully within our power cannot all be 'finished in the first hundred days nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet.' But we have begun. Neither wind nor tide is always with us. Our course on a dark and stormy sea cannot always be clear. But we have set sail-and the horizon, however cloudy, is also full of hope. Henry Vinicor, M. D, Board of Education DR. HENRY VINICOR, PRESIDENT
