FACULTY To grasp, to catch a glimpse Reflected by a teacher — a student's precious task

A Principal is a Man of Many Faces I don't like this picture either . . . The Class of '69 steps out into the world and takes its place as members of society. I hope your education has prepared you to be contributing members of this society. You have been exposed to vast areas of knowledge, innumerable facts and myriad experiences. You have assimilated or rejected these concepts after a personal evaluation. You have been taught the need to respect the rights of others, to exist harmoniously with others, to use your talents and skills for others, and to help others less fortunate than yourselves. The true measure of your education, however, will not be made this June in your final examinations nor in the fall as you begin the next phase of your life. The true measure will not be recorded by any outside agency, employer or educational institution. The evaluation for the Class of '69 will be made in years to come by you, the individual members of this graduating class. You alone know what you are capable of contributing to your family, your job, your community and your world. You alone will know if you have given your best. I hope you will be able to realize your dreams and potential. Our society needs you, your contributions and your aspirations. But there can be no half-way for you; there must be total commitment by each individual to give the best you have . If you have learned this precept your education has been vital and valuable for you and the world.
