Best Wishes to the Class of 1956 As you the Class of 1956 leave our school, I am hoping that you carry with you one thing not listed in the high school curriculum but more important than any course which you do find there-FAITH. Unless you have faith of three kinds as you go through life you will he severely handicapped. First of all, you must have faith in God, a world Without a Divine plan is unthinkable. Secondly, having faith in God, you must also have faith in yourself that with Godis help you can and must accomplish something of value as you go through life. Finally, you must have faith in your fellowmen. If you have faith in people, they will nearly always ustify your confidence. With these three kinds of faith, you, too, can move mountains. Without them, you can never achieve the complete and fully satisfying life toward which We all are striving. As you go forth, the best Wishes of all of us go with you. We have faith in you and We shall expect great things of you. ROBERT W. COPE Supervising Principal B.A. University of Pennsylvania MRS. KATHRYN WISMER Secretary to Supervising Principal 6 lVl.S.

Good Luck to the Class of 1956 The first step of your formal education is now finished, but your education never really ends. Some of you will go on to college, others will enter industry, business, and farming. What- ever your station in life may be, each one of you has a vital contribution to make to our society. Our school has tried to help you develop attitudes and modes of behavior which will make you an intelligent and productive citizen of our great country. Vlfhatever may be your choice of occupation, whether you become a farmer, tradesman, la- borer, technician, or professional worker, do your job to the best of your ability. No one can ask more of you than that. The highest praise a man can receive is a slogan the United States Navy uses Job well donen. Cicero, the famous Roman philosopher and orator, said: HWhat one has, one ought to use, and whatever he does, he should do with all his might? Our country needs all manners and kinds of workers. Our future depends on having many varied occupations. They are all part of a huge team working for the enlightenment of America and the world. You are an important part of that team and a team is just as strong as its weakest link. Therefore, consider yourself im- portant and do the best job you know how to do in the occupation of your choosing. John D. Rockefeller said, I believe in the dignity of labor, whether head or hands, that the world owes no man a living but it owes every man an opportunity to make a living. THOMAS P. HENRY, JR.
