SENIORS This yearbook was prepared around the fiftieth anniversary of the Palo Alto High School. Fifty years to you seems like a long time; fifty years reaches back until it blurs in your mind with a period of history that makes this school, by comparison, young. What Paly has come to mean to you is not the building but the associations you have built around it. As you leave the high school, we hope you will keep alive these associations and that you will return frequently to renew them. You have been hearing people tell you that opportunities beyond high school are very limited, employment chances are curtailed by the competition of returned veterans, and that choice of college for seniors will be restricted by the excessive numbers in colleges and universities. These problems are a testing ground for the difficulties you will face in life. Advice of older people for the high school graduate has always been plentiful. Perhaps this little closing suggestion of mine will likewise not even command your attention, to say nothing of challenging your thought. Nevertheless, I am going to offer it. Maybe you have come to believe, along with many other students in high school, that you have been work- ing for others and that now you will be free to work for yourself. In an ever-widening sense you have to become your own boss, your own director. Unless you expect more of yourself than your superiors and associates are likely to expect, you will always be subordinated to other people. Expect big things of yourself and keep on trying to be the kind of person you would like to be. Meet the conditions and tests that confront you in this attitude, and do not let success go to your head or failure to your heart. The faculty and students of Palo Alto High School wish you well in whatever you under- take to do for the betterment of yourself, along with the common desires of other people. Sincerely, IVAN H. LINDER, Principal 20
