FOREWORD To: Paly High Students What can a new high school principal say to his first graduating class? Words of appreciation, and thoughts of encouragement come to my mind» For me, the commencement season came too soon. Although it is a happy time of year, I have lingering regrets because I was unable to become better acquainted with each one of you. I am sure that if I were able to have spent more time with each member of the class of 1955, my year would have been even richer. I have many pleasant memories of the past school year. Prominent among them are the cheerful greetings from students as I met them about the campus. I shared your successes and failure in acti- vities and in classrooms. I am much impressed with the spirit and friendliness of Paly students. I am grateful to the students and staff for the cooperation given to me in making this year a memorable one in our lives. i am most appreciative t Miss Marilyn Jones, Madrono Editor and her staff; to Miss Donna Arnold, Commissioner of Publications and to Mr, H, Sanford Gum, Jr. and Mr. Billy Davis, Madrono spon- sors; for their work in producing the 1955 Madrono. Only they realize how much careful planning and hard work goes into the production of a high quality yearbook. The 1955 Madrono is a fitting monument to the efforts of hundreds of students and faculty'members. It will serve as a mirror to bring back memories of the many friends we made and the fine times we had in 1954-1955. It will become more valuable as the years go by. Faculty and students alike join me in wishing for the class of 1955, opportunities unlimited. Your class has unusual capacities for success and service to mankind. Brilliant careers lie ahead for many of you. But the best I can wish for you is a happy life. All who joy would win, must shart it. Happiness was born a twin. 4 RAY P. RUPPEL
