Class of 1950, as you look to the future here are a few things that it would be well for you to keep in mind. We live in the greatest nation in the world's historyplthe richest nation the world has ever seen, whose people have more material prosperity than ever before. A nation to which all the world turns, not only for material assistance but more important, for spiritual leadership. To meet this worldwide challenge we must bolster our faith in ourselves by not only having faith in human nature, but also by a renewal of our faith in our philoso- phy of freedom. We in America have the right to do and say more ' things than any other people in the world. We must not forget that this right as well as all- other rights beget certain responsibility. We should often remind ourselves, I will remain independent. I will be an individual always. I have no security without my personal integrity. A man who loses his self-respect, a man who surrenders his basic I-L BURNS' Superintendent personal responsibilities and freedoms to another man or government, must live always in fear. The man who maintains his personal responsibility, like those who sang in the desert, lives secure -no matter what happens around him. F. O. ELLSWORTH, Principal . s' 2 -w asa is is A high school Memory Book is a record of friendship formed, big events, proms, and E other important dates. For many of you, high school days mean the formation of lifetime friendships. May the events of your high school years linger long in your memories.

1 BUABII ni EIJUEATIUN Henry Wemer Ir Ray McCus11n Stanley Gorkcr Charles Burrell Earl Lewis Roberta Webb You Are Important There is so much about us that We do not understand. We understand ourselves so little. ln adolescence, for fear of offending, we tend to repress the urge to be somebody, to be recognized, to be noticed. The fact is that what We do with this desire to be somebody determines how Wholesome We are. Seeking for confirmation of self-worth evidences an ambition which stirs in the blood of every mother's son on earth. V lt is in the dreams of the child musician, it burns in the soul of the explorer. lt is in all of us. This urge is there in ourwanting to belong, the acceptance of what we have to offer to life. What tyrannies and follies are perpetuated in the name of being somebody. A person talks loudly in public, swears boldly, voices opinions dogmatically in order to be noticed. . A man should live for being and not for seeming. The desire for attention, when identified with serving others can be Wholesome and healthful. Like happiness, real importance comes unsought and unnoticed. Appreciation of others ought to be expressed more generally and genuinely. Your importance can be measured by the degree to which you are needed by people. Can you become today a person Who ceases to belong to yourself-quits serving your ego-and begins serving others all around you? - If so, you will come alive with power, and something hallowed will shine through you every day yvith an inward glow. You are somebody. The world needs you. The World awaits you. HENRY WERNER, IR. President of the Board of Education
