PRINCIPALS’ MESSAGES Conformity is to-day ' s word! There is a laudable type of conformity based on the recognition and judicious application of sound Christian principles. There is also an insidious type of conformity which threatens to undermine true morality. May you, as a result of your training at O ' Leary, be capable of distinguishing between the two! In practice, may you believe enough to care and care enough to be different! In conformity with the past years ' tradition, I wish each of you the happiness which stems from living out your life in a world which needs what an O ' Leary graduate has to offer. Principal, O ' Leary Girls ' The editor, moderators, and the writers of this edition of the O ' Leary High School Yearbook deserve the sincerest thanks of the whole school. The production has entailed hours and hours of work which began in late September when the basic decisions were made. Many other decisions were made that same month--every boy and girl in this school chose to return. The motivation was noble, strong, possibly weak, but a decision was made. But the decision is insufficient unless there is a determination to use all the facilities of the school for the purpose for which they were built or organized: to learn, to develop self-control, to expand one ' s interests. Sometimes schools are criticized by boys and girls for lack of what they call School Spirit . True school spirit is a spirit of study, a questioning spirit that cannot be satisfied by anything less than perfection. A decision to do one ' s best is all anyone can justly ask. To choose the more important, to ignore the lesser and to stick by the choice is the manly way. The glow of satisfaction from the knowledge that one has done his best is worth much more than the effort and it is the sure path to a worthwhile life. This country was won by men and women who refused to stop trying once they had decided that this was the land for them. Surely their inheritors are not a lesser breed. This Yearbook would convince the reader that O ' Leary boys and girls have the stuff which commands respect. Principal, O ' Leary Boys '
