To the Seniors: This yearbook will be a treasured keepsake because it chronicles the events of your last year in high school. I hope it has been a satisfying year, a fitting ending to twelve years spent in school. As you leave high school soon to take your Blaces in the adult world, I hope you will look upon the high school as one of the keystones of our republic. You can help make it a Vital part of the American way of life. A free public high school, open to all, is not to be found in all countries of the world. But we are glad that it is a part of. the American heritage; in fact, we believe that our democratic way of life would soon disappear if it were not possible for all Citizens to secure a good education. Let us remember the words of Thomas Jefferson: bl know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of society but the people themselves: and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. rlwherefore we ask you to cherish this great ideal of free education for all. It is vitally important to the welfare of our country. IVe hope you. will aid and defend it as thousands before you have done. ' In conclusion may I extend to all of you my best wishes for your future happi- ness and success in all your endeavors. Sincerely, CARL A. ANDERSON, Principal
