The men of Israel dug their wells deep to reach the waters so necessary for physi- cal life. We too must dig deep into our spiritual thinking and our philosophy of life today if we are to compete in fulfilling our mission in this ever changing world of ours. Hold fast to the good and enduring things in life: love, kindness, honesty, de- cency, responsibility, and understanding the other person's position and his right to believe. Hitch your wagon to a star, but don't get stuck in the mire of human wasteful- ness and deceit. You are a wonderful group of young people. It has been a pleasure to share life's experiences with you. Principal The United States of America is the richest na- tion ever to exist. It seems almost paradoxical that twenty per cent of our nation lives in poverty, and yet we could be on the verge of a new Golden Age! The challenge to Americans is an educational one. We do not lack jobs, but we lack the tools and skills to acquire employment. Contemporary students must furnish the initia- tive, desire, and courage to provide themselves with the skills of education which will be compati- ble with their future employment and careers. You as students pass through these portals but once! Take full advantage of all the possibilities that your community and state offers to yqu. Sincerely, 16 Assistant Principal
