'Tfte iizye tyon The finest educational opportunities in the world today are found right here in America. It has not always been so. The ideal, “Equal educational opportunities for all,” is attained only through sweat, toil, and self sacrifice. The past and present generations may justly be proud of their record in approaching that ideal. Youth of today, this is your heritage—an opportunity to learn, to determine your own course of study, to reach as far as your native capacity and your perseverance will carry you. The challenge is yours. What you do with it is up to you. Have confidence in yourself, have faith in divine guidance, and finally, remember that service to and thoughtfulness of others are the keys to a happy, successful future. Sincerely, Gerald R. Brown A.B., Illinois College; M.A., University of Illinois Superintendent Paris Public Schools The class of 1960 is graduating into a world which in many ways is unsettled and confused, but no one should say that he cannot plan what he should do. Those who have read history know that the world has never been calm and settled; there has always been confusion and turmoil, and it is likely that there always will be. The task that everyone has is to rise above the confusion to make his contribution to the world good and meaningful. Some of you are ready to take your places in the world and to work ahead now; some will go through more preparation and education before taking a full part in the work of our nation. Whatever part each of you will have, you must be sure that you give the best you have so that our nation can continue to grow. Your contribution should be positive, a contribution that will help the growth of our country. All of us are confident that you will find your place and do your part. John P. Allen B.S., Illinois State Normal University; M.A., University of Illinois University of Chicago Principal Paris High School
