IT CAN BE OONE To the Seniors or Rook Islano Hioh School. Class or 1948 I woulo like to say a few woros THAT MAY BE OF SOME BENEFIT TO YOU IN LATER YEARS AS YOU 00 OUT INTO THE WORLD TO MAKE YOUR OWN WAY IN LIFE. NOW THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO RECEIVE THE HIGH SCHOOL OIPLOMAS THAT YOU HAVE WORKED SO FAITHFULLY FOR, PERHAPS YOU PAUSE FOR A MOMENT TO LOOK BACK OVER THE YEARS TO THE TIME WHEN YOU FIRST ENTERED SCHOOL. THAT DAY WAS A VERY IMPORTANT 0AY IN YOUR LIFE, FOR IT WAS THEN THAT YOU BEGAN 8UIL0ING A FOUNDATION FOR YOUR HIOH SCHOOL WORK. YOU WORK EO 01 LI GENTLY THROUGH THE YEARS YOU WERE IN GRADE SCHOOL ANO RECEIVED YOUR GRAMMAR SCHOOL DIPLOMA THAT ENTITLED YOU TO ENTER HIGH SCHOOL. NO 00U8T YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD COME A LONG WAY AT THIS TIME, AND YOU HAD, 8UT YOU WERE NOT WILLING TO STOP THERE. You JOURN. YED ON THROUGH THE FOUR YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL TO REACH THE GOAL YOU SET OUT TO REAOH--TO GRADUATE FROM HIOH SCHOOL. NOW, I WOULO SAY TO YOU, Do NOT STOP HERE BUT JOURNEY ON DOWN THE HIGHWAY OF LIFE TO GREAT SUCCESS . The GOING HAS NOT ALWAYS BEEN EASY IN YOUR SCHOOL DAYS; NEITHER WILL IT 8E IN LIFE, Oo NOT BE EASILY DISCOURACEO IF SOME ONE TELLS YOU THAT YOU CANNOT DO A THING. REMEU8ER THAT IT IS THE ONE WHO CAN 00 THE HARD TASKS THAT MAKES THE GREATEST SUCCESS IN LIFE. It Can Be Oonf If YOU HAVE THE 0 ET ERMI 'I T I ON TO STAY WITH IT UNTIL YOU 00 SUCCEED. OTHERS HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY COULO NOT SUCOEEO, BUT THEY HAD SELF - COMF1 OENC E ANO DETERMINATION, AND SAIO, IT CAN Be DONE . They succeeoeo. You too can succeeo if you have SELF—CONFI0ENCE ANO THE DETERMINATION TO SEE THE JOB COMPLETED ANO WELL DONE. So MY MESSAGE TO you is, It Can Be Done . Yours truly, R. C. Miller
