if VA . fx A TX A I . yd.-- i I Q OUR PRINCIPAL se ., Dear Seniors: By the time you read this little message, you will be ready to leave high school as graduates. I know that many of you have been anticipating the day when you would be freed from the routine requirements of high school life. Commencement time is a pleasant period but it also has its shadowy side. You will be breaking off acquaintances you have en- joyed for years. As you leave high school, whether to go on to college or into some form of employment, most of you will be forming new friendships, facing new problems, and the high school days will fade. We hope you will come back to the school from time to time to report your progress and tell us of your successes. lust a word about your success would seem to be in order. Some of your teachers and even your parents have been joining efforts to make your success appear certain and easy, perhaps too easy. Neither of these has been attempting to deceive you: rather they have been trying to stimulate your best efforts. But success in any worthwhile line is not easy and not certain. One of the greatest barriers to achievement is simply that all of us would do big things and do them with enthusiasm if only we could start to work on these and not trouble with the smaller matters which someway seem so feebly related. Even the army discovered in the recent war that a series of small successes improved the soldiers' morale more than bigger successes more widely spaced. So I advise you to be reasonably certain of what you want to do and then seek, not big successes, but small ones. You will be surprised how these add up to re-enforce each other and generate enthusiasm for further achievement. And finally, whatever worthwhile activity you decide to enter, the best wishes of the faculty and students of Paly Hi accompany you. Very sincerely, V IVAN H. LINDER I0 .wav

Summa QlFI ICIiRS AND CoL'Nsi1LoR: VJ. Leung, D. Peterson, Mr. Fuller, D. Davis. Davis, B. Rose. SENIORS - 1948 A few notes of an old song-and you're back in 1948. You were a senior then, and you loafed and crammed for tests and worried about getting into college. You waited impatient- ly for Grad night-and then wondered how the juniors would carry on when you left. You were a senior-the first weeks of school you let the sophs know it-then came foot- ball-the band-the colors, Red and Green. No, we changed them-remember the all- school feud, and Black and Blue, the Third Party? Then there was the revival of Brunch period-and a sandwich line took over the halls. The Camp carried on-the Federalists took the spotlight with an atom bomb in the school yard, and you tried to get in the pictures for LIFE-the New Look was no longer new- blue jackets for Da Boys -the Iinx went off well, including the First Nighters-Drama climbed a few inches with some excellent plays-Arsenic? One lump or two? A 'teen center got going-Four Leaf Clovers sprang up everywhere-you went to the Freedom Train, or else the beach-Career Day came and you planned brilliant futures- the Boys' Stunt Show was replaced by a Varieties-we saw a new publication, THE LIT, revived from before the war-Elections came around-a lot of talk, a little voting, and finally a few commissioners to run the elections the next year. High School was a lot of things-blowing straws at the Penn, struggling with languages or physics or speed in typing-the days in class-dreary, light, boring, indifferent-the main hall at Brunch-the Iolly-Ups-exams-and then Senior Week-wild, youthful, and a little sad ..... When again? l 1 SENIOR Corxczlr, Siaczoxu Rim B Cartwright, j. Dcdo, A Li Peterson. FIRST Row: Vw Leung., A. Classen, Al. Tripp, j Hardy
