Page Six META TO OUR GRADUATES For twelve short years you have been with us, and now you go with confidence into fields of adult life. It is our hope that we have merited the faith and confidence that your parents had in us when they entrusted your academic welfare to our care. It is our sincere prayer that the sacrifices of your fond parents will he rewarded by your never-failing love for them and by your diligence and strength of character in all your efforts in the years to come. May you go forth with courage and with the knowledge that genius is demanded of but a few. Success comes not from doing uncommon things but rather from doing the common things un- commonly well. May my office always be a place of refuge and counsel to you in time of disappointments and temporary setbacks — and may we sometimes enjoy a visit from you to learn of and share with you some of your future successes. WILLIAM A. WELCH Superintendent of Schools. Congratulations to the Class of 1955 as you mark the termina- tion of the most important cycle in your progress through life! Graduation from high school signals for you the beginning of a new and challenging era in which the training received thus far must serve as a foundation and a guide. That your future progress based on an intelligent understanding of the necessity of spiritual values and the importance of those qualities of mind and heart which are the hallmarks of greatness may be one of happiness and success is the sincere wish we extend to you on the happy occasion of your graduation. J. HENRY HIGGINS, Assistant Superintendent of Schools
