To the Class of 1948: Thank you for helping the Rock Island senior high school to continue and enrich the traditions which have made your alma mater a bright light in this community. Your successes and even failures here should help you grow into more advanced work with and for others. Many people are confused in these days of uncer- tainty. May you carry the torch of enlightened and inspired citizenship which is made possible by strong character, unstinted service, and knowledge of the tasks at hand. May God bless you every one. Owen B. Wright Principal Is it the right thing? Is it the wise thing? Is it a kind thing? If, as you go through life, you can make your actions square with these three criteria or even with two of them you are likely to live a life which is happy and of service to mankind. E. S. Metcalf Dean of Boys You have now finished twelve years of school work. During these years, your parents and your teachers have acquainted you with some of the im- portant teachings and practices by which men have worked out their ways of life on this earth. Armed with this knowledge, may you face the future with courage, avoiding the mistakes of the past, shaping and designing a life blessed with clear thinking, health, happiness, and satisfying achieve- ment. Florence J. Liebbe Dean of Girls OWEN B. WRIGHT E. S. METCALF FLORENCE J. LIEBBE
