PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE You are about to enter a world which has aptly been described as the affluent society, and in a non-flattering way we have sometimes been characterized as indolent people living amidst a land of plenty. The Class of '63 is preparing to partake of America'3 bounty, enor- mous in its scope—be it economic, educational or spiritual. It has been heartening in the past few years to observe the diligence of our students in the pursuit of education beyohd high school. Their success has been a source of rea- surrance to our efforts both here at school and at home. Education has been described as the sum total of processes by which a community or na- tion transmits its aims with a view to securing its own existence and growth. This question of existence under present day circumstances is sharply brought into focus as we realize that today the Atlantic Ocean is no wider than the Rio Grande and the Pacific no broader than Lake Michigan. You, as a part of the youth of America, are facing the challenge of existence in an admir- able manner, reflecting responsible citizenship. It is important that this affluent society' suffers not the fate of other proud civilizations where nations with high standards of living have been pushed to the grave by people with low standards of dying. To the Class of 63: It is my hope that you continue to develop your mind and character, and become a happy, moral, and efficient human being. I wish you every success and hope you look back on your formative years here at Oriskany Palls High School as having measured up to your every expectation. Walter S. Buckoski GUIDANCE COUNSELOR To the Class of 1963: As you proudly depart with your high school diploma, may you forever remember that this is only a preliminary step in your education. What- ever formal education or vocational training you pursue in the future, may you never become com- placent---feeling that at last your education is complete. In this dynamic, ever-changing world you will find rapid evolutionary changes in nearly every career. Continuous education, through reading, on-the-job-training, adult edu- cation, technical and college courses, will be necessary to make you an effective member of society. May you accept each challenge with determination and perseverance. Best wishes, C.W. Judd
