CDLIR PRINCIPAL His Message to the Class of l957 RAY E. RONCO Waynesburg College, A.B. University of Pittsburgh, M.A. May we pause in the midst of receiving the congratulations of those interested in us, and re-affirm in our hearts and our minds our responsibilities to our community and our nation. Our community depends upon the interest exerted by each of us. Some of us may feel that we have fulfilled our obligations to the community by merely paying our taxes. Real citizenship, however, involves an intelligent interest and participation in community affairs. The democratic philosophy which you have inherited gives you the privilege and responsibility to create the kind of community you desire to live in. Just as we are interested in the welfare of our neighbors, so we as good Americans should be interested in our neighbors of the world, who are brought near to us by our quick methods of transportation and communica- tion. Our peaceful existence in our communities is based upon peace among all people. We cannot feel secure unless security and peace are world-wide. Thus I repeat to all of you may you pause on this momentous occasion in your young lives and ask God's aid in making a contribution to your community, your nation, your world, in order that it may be a better place in which to live. Best Wishes, R. E. Ronco Graduates of l957: To promote activities and Student Welfare
