SUPERIN TEN DENT - PRINCIPAL MESSAGE TO TI-IE STUDENTS: I'm not going to give you a lot of advice on what your life should be, or whether or not you should go on to col- lege. Rather, I would like to make a few suggestions that could be helpful to you. First, make a careful inventory of what you now have-your likes, dislikes, skills, and interests. Then jot down some of the valuable lessons learned thus far. Are you satisfied with your list? If not, do something about it. Second, if one door of your life closes, pull open another door. Have the determination to do some educational climbing. Third, keep digging for information. All of you must now realize that life is a series of problems and solutions. The problems are always present. It is up to you to furnish your solution. Fourth, apply what you have learned so far, Realize that work needs to be done, and that you should do something about getting it done. To the Class of 1955, sincere congratulations. To the rest of you, let's look forward to the.pleasure of using the new additions to our building. Ba K. OFFICE SECRETARIES To aid Mr. Peterson with his busy schedule, he has two secre- taries, Mrs. Hope and Mrs. Wren. They issue absence and tardy excuses, sell school supplies and store the lost and found articles. For the faculty, they are always busy typing and mimeographing letters and various papers. Also answering the telephone and de- livering messages are jobs of these secretaries. They handle funds for clubs, book rentals, and student activity tickets.
