Richmond High School - Echo Yearbook (Richmond, MI)

Page 13 text:

The high school years are perhaps the most memorable years of your lives. It is here that we make our beginning as a young adult and as an individual. The Echo through the years will help us turn time back to recall the things we did here at Richmond High. The fun, the hard work, the fond memories the Echo will help to recall. We have seen much progress made during the last two years in improved program. I believe the future holds much more in store. Schools are chang- ing throughout the nation. Our school is trying hard to meet better the needs of all our students through new study and work programs. We are trying to make our facilities more available to all people in our com- munity. Through all our program change, let us endeavor to keep the warm friendly relationship that exists in our school. Often, I think, we take this for granted. I would personaly like to express my thanks to a very wonderful student body for the fine spirit of co-operation and friendliness you have shown me. May you never lose sight to high goals and ideals. by Virgil W. Cook

These are years for exploring and identifying — testing, and searching to find out who you really are and with what capacities you have been endowed. When you write the last Savor this book. It documents a large portion of your life span; at least 4,320 hours for those of you who have been with R.H.S. four years. To the Students of R.H.S.; chapter of this book and close its covers forever on these years of your life you must begin to fit what you have learned about the real you into the real world. The greatest revelation you probably will experience is that your life will never be static. There is no one time or place when you can say, there - I made it. All I have to do now is just live.” Rather, you will find that these 4,320 hours havebeen merely one kind of learning. In fact, learning never ceases - it just changes. Even though you close these covers you will never forget. The impact of these years on your life are forever. I earnestly hope that you feel that your community has done its utmost to provide the kind of formal school experiences you need to cope with a life of constant change. Sincerely, Urey B. Arnold Superintendent
