Mr. William Rice, Mr. Earl Blanton, Mrs. Edith Zarr, Mr. Williard Dennison, Mr. David Getty. SCHOOL BOARD’S MESSAGE As you approach your commencement day, it is proper to congratulate you for having suc- cessfully completed your secondary school education. You have reached a crossroad. Some of you will consider your selection of higher institu- tions of learning; others will find opportunities in the world of business. We trust that wherever you go, or whatever you do, you will find that your education and training in Ridley Park High School will be a great asset to you in meeting the problems of the future. Always give time to the improvement of yourself, less time to criticism of others. “Be too big to worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.” Edith J. Zarr, President Eleven

MR. J. LAYTON MOORE MR. DAVID H. BINING PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF 1959 In emerging from the comparative calm of the classroom, you are entering a larger world with its momentous problems. It has always been thus. Each age has had its difficulties and complexities. Today we find the threat of nuclear destruction. This is not the only prob- lem, maybe not the greatest; for we are also threatened from within by spiritual indifference and moral deterioration. In facing these problems, there may be noth- ing glorious, nothing spectacular, nothing sen- sational in the part you are called to play; but you can play your part well. You can take a stand against a materialistic philosophy that emphasizes things at the expense of people, that yields to passion and prejudice in place of reason, and puts man in the place of God. Ridley Park High School is now your alma mater. The words you have sung in each assembly may take on added significance: “Long may thy name stand for right and truth. To thee from year to year our voices we will raise. We’ll bear thy standard high and shout thy praise!” May you cherish the ideals of your school. Love her for what she has done for you, and go forth to practice the teachings she has given you. Let the spirit of unselfish devotion for the betterment of your fellowman be your guiding principle. This is the key to real happiness and success. It is my fervent hope that life will be mean- ingful to all of you. David H. Bining
