D,'o OL CLu of ’55 Contributions to the development ot man made by the various races and civilizations are very often portrayed on canvas for the benefit of posterity. On canvas, the artist describes steps in the progress of humanity as seen by him and depicts human progress as it has developed since the begin- ning of time. So through 'Life’s Canvas you see and benefit by what others hove done and, simi- larly, future generations will see what you have done by observing your contributions to the history of your country and community. It is my sincere hope that during your years of attendance in the Perth Amboy High School we have assisted you in absorbing knowledge and in developing the kind of character that will make it possible for you to contribute to the welfare of our country so that a portrayal of your life's canvas will show a happy, successful group with a deep understanding of its rights, and more important, its responsibilities and obligations to church, country, family, and colleagues. Then some future artist will portray on canvas your contributions to mankind from which future generations may profit —just as you have from those of your predecessors.
