Graduation from high school is an event of significance. It is a point which can, and often does, represent the beginning of a new and even more challenging phase in your life. Not the least of the challenges is the need for you to recognize how important it is to continue your education. It is my hope that each and every member of the Class of 1960 of the Saxton Liberty High School will not only recognize this need but will face the challenge and continue his education far beyond high school. Actually, you now have mastered only the basic tools of learning which you will use throughout your life to get an education, whether it be acquired by informal life experiences or formal institutional training. Harry H. Alcorn Supervising Principal We are told that in the old days a man had scope to exercise his talents. Today, we are led to believe that things are different. Now we are in the age of the machine. People have become mere cogs in a machine—-there is no room left for individuality. This is not true. The individual today has far greater oppor- tunity to express his individuality, and be more important as a person, than ever before in history. Mere numbers have less and less importance. The need for able leaders in every area of life is pressing. There is less time than there used to be for youth to dawdle. There is everything yet to be accomplished in our lives and in our work. What man has done, man can do better. Jobs today are more important than ever before. The marvels of today will be commonplace tomorrow. The very fact that electronics and atomics are unfolding togther is an indication of the amazing changes ahead. Whatever course you have chosen for your- self, it will not be a chore but an adventure if you set your sights far above the merely secure and mediocre. More than ever in the past, you will be called upon to discipline yourself and the world you live in. Hold fast to that which is good and remain true to ideals of human welfare and moral integrity. The world that awaits you over the horizon, is challenging—exciting—and promising. E. Wilson Gates Prinicpal
