Mai lifwolzea fo 66,155 of 1955 Your class is heing graduated during a period of increasing world tensions. The prophets of doom are at work trying very hard to persuade us that the future is dark. Nlay I remind you that there have heen many times in the history of our country: such as the period oi the American Revolution, the Civil War, and Vvorid War li, when all hope seemed to have vanished and the future looked hieak for those oi faint heart. To you of the graduating class I say, Have Faith! Have iaith in yourself. Your future is what you make it. Whatever your choice oi occupation. do it to the hest of your ahiiity. America needs all kinds of workers to keep her strong and steady. Have iaith in your country. You are privi- ieged to iive in the greatest country, with the hest political and economic system, the world has ever known. Our country is only as strong as each individual citizen in it. You are the links in the chain of strength. Have faith in the future. The possihiiities iior our nation are unlimited. In the 180 years oi our existence as a nation. we have made more social, economic. technological, and poiiticai progress than our founding fathers dared dream. I suggest that our future is just as bright as our past. Ahove ali. have iaith in your Creator.

To each oi you I wish every happiness and success in ali of your undertakings. THOMAS P. HENRY, JR. High School Principal MRS. RUFH SCHUCHERT Secretary lo the high school principal
