Alert Minds Run School y Among the gifts coming to us through our American heritage is the gift of opportunity. Schools, education, opportunity, and the American way of life are closely associated with another gift, that of United States citizenship. It has been personally rewarding and professionally gratifying for me to have been associated, since 1933, with the school generations who have sought opportunity within the halls of R. A. Long High. The experience in 1933 and in 1960 has been an opportunity for me to work with opportunities for you. Insofar as the passing years will record your accomplishments, we shall be proud together of the op- portunities you have seized and will continue to accept. SCOTT MILLIGAN Noah Anders Harry R. Calbo Cecil Fugil An expectant note is contained in the thought that thousands of class annuals in our United States depict the personalities who are the source of a powerful leadership in main- taining a world relationship which will assure peace and justice to all mankind. A challenging chord to these per- .sonalities is presented in the realiza- tion that this leadership will be ex- erted only through the recognition and fullest development by each in- dividual of the talents bestowed by his Creator. A melody of appreciation is sung to your parents and Longview ' s citi- zens for their gift of educational op- portunity by this record of dedicat- ed purpose, diligent application and high accomplishment in the activi- ties of your high school community. Congratulations up your achieve- ment. I am confident your contri- butions to world stability will be significant. EARL J. REED Mark Hoehne Wendell Kirkpalrick Corrine Miles EARL J. REEO

The Gift of Courage is one not subject to being given — it must be earned. Yet it is supremely worth the effort, for hfe without courage is both flavorless and pointless. It takes courage to look for the right thing to do, and then do what is right instead of following the crowd . It takes courage to overcome obstacles in life, but each triumph develops greater strength, and each failure magnifies weakness. It takes courage to set desirable goals and standards for oneself, even more desirable goals and standards for oneself, and even more to work consistently toward the achievement to those aims. When a person has the moral strength to resist the taunts, chicken! by his so-called friends, he has started to Hve the courageous Ufe. C. A. Thompson E. B. Piper Assistant Principal :28® . The expression It is more blessed to give than to receive, may have little meaning for us when we are in our youth. As we mature socially, physically, and spiritually we begin to realize the potential of this great statement. We find that gifts are not always wrapped in packages decorated in bright ribbons, but the most precious gift may take the form of a serv- ice rendered, an act of kindness, a smile, or maybe a note or a work of appreciation for a job well done when none is required or ex- pected. We all possess within us great gifts as consideration for others, tolerance, grati- tude, respect, and love. Give of them freely and they will be returned to you one hundred fold. Emary B. Piper
