ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL I .. - I HARRY V. POWNALL CCP rowin Two weII Iqnown cIasses of peopIe in the worId are - - doers and dou,Iote.rs. Doers demand growth, and one of the greatest assets which we have is the ahihty to grow, which resuIts in a reaching out and advancement. Growth indicates Iife, initiative, and ahiIity to I3Iossom forth with new sympathies and understand- ings. Growth requires Iifters, not Ieaners. It seeks workers, not shirkers. It de- mands huiIders, not IJIocIcers, doers, not cIouIoters. It is an unaIterahIe truth that the strength and stahiIity of any organization is in proportion to its Ieadership, and any organization or Iousiness concern is impoverished if it does not have en- thusizistic and competent Ieadership that wiII demand progress, improvement, and growt 1. This growth isn,t aIways easy. It is more often a matter of striving. Just as the taII stateIy trees of the forest must face aII the vicissitudes of the eIements, incIuding droughts, Hoods, insects, winds, heat, and coId, in order 'to grow and Iive, so must successfuI Ieaders sometimes face hindrances, opposition, criticism, and abuse in order to reach their goaIs. It is often necessary to push through the hard crust of accustomed ideas and estahIished practices to reach the sun- Iight of greater wisdom and growth. Every schooI, every cIass, every famiIy must have competent Ieadership in order to advance. Education sharpens the tooIs our Ieaders use to reach these goaIs and achieve high ideaIs. Each of you carry your own torch of Ieadership throughout your Iife, and our schooIs endeavor to Iurnish fueI for that fIame of enthusiasm and growth in the hearts of its students. Set f0f Y0urseIf a program of performance and growth, inteIIectuaIIy, fpifituuauy, and physicaIIy -,- and then foIIow it. TransIate your dreams and lClC.8S into action. A persons first duty is to his ideaIs. Remember thatithe so- Iution to most prohIems Ioegins first with a resoIution in the heart. rlhere is POWKZ3' IH growth.

ESHELMAN rincipaias Message - 1957-58 Mcmbei's of the Class of 58, I salute you. it is always a challenge and a real pleasure to give a parting message to a group of seniors who are about to graduate and enter the various avenues of life. lt is our earnest hope and desire that we have been able to kindle in you and equip you with some little spark of interest and desire which will bring out the very best that is within you. It has been said America is safe and will be successful if the product of her schools has Reason Morality, Justice, and Character indeiibiy stamped upon it. Then the quality of your information dei termines the quality and quantity of your thinking, your thinking determines your decisions, your decisions determine your actions, and your actions determine your destiny. You may be missing your goal by only a hair's breadth. You who are eager to get more out of life, to become better fitted for lifes battles, to be keener mentally, to have unfaihng faith to accomplish more, d 'f 'Il' t k d I 0 and to have the will to make your dreams come true, can succee 1 you are wi ing o wor an app y y ur- seives to the task at hand. This is the parable of the talents. The one essential thing about you is your capacity to improveg you can only improve as you learn and follow the natural law of growth. Trained minds and trained characters win in everythingg there- f0re, when you make an investment in understanding, you always get a satisfactory return in growth. A tr th ti rowing attracts to itself whatever it needs, but as soon as it stops growing, these ma- ee a s g teriais are diverted to other trees around it that are growing.
