Education is the key that unlocks many doors of opportunity. Abraham Lincoln, as a young man, said; I will study and prepare myself so that I may be ready when my opportunity comes. I could leave no better challenge with the high school students at Paris. Earnestly apply yourself toward knowledge, seek to broaden your acquaintances, especially with successful well-adjusted individuals, and finally hold truth and honor above personal gain. These are the prerequisites of a happy, useful life. Gerald R. Brown A. B., Illinois College M. A., University of Illinois Superintendent Paris Public Schools Scientific progress makes it necessary that our nation become even more aggressive in the future than it has been in the past years. Care must be taken that we become so for the benefit of mankind, not for our own selfish ambitions and goals. Other nations are looking to us for leadership in the years ahead, and that leadership must come from you, the coming generation. Whether or not our country will be able to obtain that goal set for us by the rest of the world depends on how well you, the coming citizens, accept this responsibility. The future of a great nation holds a challenge which we must take up, and be prepared to meet the demands put upon us. Do you accept this challenge? We place our confidence in you — carry on. J. E. Lynch B.S., Iowa State College M.S., University of Illinois M.Ed., University of Illinois Principal, Paris High School
