Wzwu To the Seniors: Many happy moments and many trying times have been experienced these past four years. However, with grim determination, patience and an understanding philosophy, you have worked as a unit and have successfully fulfilled all your obligations and conquered the obiectives that befronted you when you entered high school. This represents just one of the many steps you will take in your life time. After graduation you again will be faced with more obligations to be fulfilled and objectives to be attained. I am sure by displaying the same traits as in the past you will again be successful and life will be good and kind to you. GEORGE E. POWELL Principal Congratulations to the Class of l959: Our best wishes go with every member of the graduating class. You have completed a most important phase of your life, one that should be the goal of every one, Graduation from High School. As you review the past twelve years, I am certain the good times will far exceed what- ever displeasures you might have encountered. What about the future? Many of you will con- tinue your education in preparation for a pro- fessional or business career. Others will seek em- ployment or remain at home. Whatever vocation you choose, do the iob well. We challenge you to live wisely and thoughtfully, remembering those lessons learned in Riverside High School which should have prepared you for the day when you go forth on your own. THOMAS R. SHUPE Superintendent of Schools
