This small group of people were the victims of slave drivers. Skip Zehrung and John Buclesky, in the production of this Oil Fan. They came out on top with no harm done except a few cases of writer's cramp and two or three worn out dictionaries. Little needs to be said about the work ol' this staff. All one has to clo is glance through the Oil Can to see the fruits of their labor. 108 Photography and Art Stalls ScatedfF'ei'clinancl Worsa, Stan Maurer. Standing-l'l1arlotte Saboski, Judy Cohen.

My heartiest congratulations to the young men and women grad- uates from the Oil City Senior High School! To go to school in America, where anyone who wants it can have a sound and useful education, is indeed a priceless privilege. And when school days are over, to work at a job of your own choiceg to take part in the activities of the community where you liveg to choose your government representatives, freely and without coercion, in the security of the voting boothg to have maximum enjoyment of your rights and privileges so long as you do not infringe on the rights and privileges of your neighborg to worship God as you pleaseg to express your views with- out fearg to meet freely with your friends and neighbors for the discussion of problems of mutual interestg to go where you want when you wantg those are some of the many privileges that go with being an American. But we must never forget that with these privileges goes a responsi- bility-the responsibility of keeping America free-and this is a challenge to everyone of you. It is only by keeping America free that we can safe- guard the dignity of the individual American and his privilege of living the way he wants to. The future stretches before you. What you make of it is in your own hands. If I were asked to summarize my advice in a few words, I would say, THINK FOR YOURSELF - DO NOT ABDICATE YOUR RIGHT TO MAKE YOUR OWN DECISIONS TO SELF-SEEKING DEMA- GOGUES OR POWER-HUNGRY DESPOTSF' My best wishes to you all.
