9 Graduation represents what I hope will be regarded by each of you as a very im- portant event in your life. Its significance will depend largely upon what graduation means to you as an individual. To some it means the welcome end, the completion of a long and sometimes uneventful journeyf To others it is looked upon as the be- ginning, as representing a kind of induction into the world of adulthood, of work, of further education and of active, meaningful citizenship. The world we live in is changing rapidly. This imposes upon you many responsi- bilities, not the least of which is the awareness of change and the ability to adjust to it and cope with it. This is basically the challenge all people face. To the extent that you have been inspired to develop the quality of mind to be flexible and adaptable will you be equipped mentally to live productively and happily. The challenge of life and work, then, really begins upon graduation. I hope that you will often look back upon your experiences here with gratitude and the assurance that all of us who have served you have contributed significantly to your growth and development. - Good Luck! MR. NORMAN HAWEELI Supervising Principal

PRESCOTT ARCHIBALD, PRESIDENT One of the important issues which faced the Board of Edu- cation and the Administration for the second year was the prob- lem of double sessions for Grades 9-12. Great strides were made toward the solution of this particular problem in February when the citizens of our school district voted approval of the bond issue and the site for our long-awaited junior-senior high school. Barring unforseen delays, the present goal for completion of the building is September, 1962. We, the class of 1960, are happy to know that our classmates, the Freshmen, may be the first to graduate from our new school. The student body is indeed grateful to the Board of Educa- tion, the Administration and the interested citizens in our school district who have worked so untiringly to give us a good education.
