a TO THE SENIORS1 Education is not a bequest, it is a conquest. Education cannot be 'given' it must be achieved. With your permis- sion, I should like to do some Stargazing that I assure will not result in things, ab- stract, chimerical or fan- tastic. June 10, 1955, will be a great day for you-- graduation. This is a note- worthyachievement. Com- mencement will remainal- ways inmemoryas one of the great occasions of your life. Everyone--parents, relatives, friends, neigh- bors, teachers--will re- joice with you when you receive your diploma. I commend you for 5 using the educational op- , portunities provided in the s Oxford Area Schoolbythe w 0 community and the great State of Pennsylvania, Life, as well as ed- - ucation, is a conquest. Little willbe given you. The road to worthwhile living is uphill and unpaved. Undaunted, the strong and the brave keep plugging day by day. I know you will be in that number. You will do well to consider the many opportunities available for em- ployment in this area, one of the best you could find in which to live. These hills and valleys, nestled between and touching the Big Elk and the Octoraro Creeks, will nurture you and provide all the elements for successful living, healthfulcli- mate, rich farm land, good churches, schools, roads and sanitation, absence of floods, droughts and devastating winds, sound businesses and industries, and fine people. In conclusion, Iextend to you that which it has been my privilege to extend to many other fine young men and women of this community--my personal best wishes for much success in the things you do that are worthwhile and a contri- bution to a better world for us all. gi 1l 4 za mmm, . ww
