A Message from Our Supervising Principal You, the members of the graduating class have reached an important milestone in your lives. This is an important time for you. It is an equally important time for your schoolmates, parents and friends. The interest of the whole community is centered around you, and rightly so., for the schools represent many times the largest investment and business in the area. They symbolize an in- vestment in boys and girls. To you is given a life to live, and a personality to fashion. You want todo your best -to make the most of it. Many energies, powers and talents are at your command. Wlmat will you do to join that eager, joyous, expectant band of youth? We hope your school has helped you to develop the talents which -are.yours and has helped you to recognize your own capabilities. It is our hope that you have been inspired to seek your goal to the best of your ability. A beckoning world awaits you. Examine well the path your feet would trod. Consider what high attainment your mind is capable of reaching. The reason many do n0t attain their desires is because they get tired reaching. Steadied by the experiences of your parents and friends and guided by their counsel. and careg equipped with the training of this school and clothed in the faith and trust of youth, with all the enthusiasm and the vigor that belongs to the young, may you go forth this commencement into a beck- oning world and find therein all the happiness, all the success and the realization of all the dreams you have held these many years. Have faith in God, in yourself and in the future. Congratulations and best wishes to you. If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill Be a scrub in the valley, but be The best little scrub by the side of the rill: Be a bush if you can't be a tree. We can't all be captains, some have to be crew. There's something for all of us here. There's work to be done, and we've all got to do Our part in a way that's sincere. If you can't be a highway, then just be a trail, If you can't be a sun, be a star, It isn't by size that you win or fail: Be the best of whatever you are. ARTHUR W. EsHELMAN, Snpzf. Prin. Seven
