Then those who are unskilled will be laid off. Therefore I urge you to make the most of the next few years. To each of our graduates I wish to extend my sincere congratulations. You will never regret the sacrifice you have made to secure a high school diploma. Your years at Parker have been busy ones. For the future I wish for each of you all happiness and success. We hope that in the years ahead you will continue to be a source of pride to your parents and teachers. Keep busy and cling to the high ideals you now have and your success will be certain.
