The Board of Education views this growth with an eye to the future. Many years ago a pioneer in education proclaimed that the true educational goal was the development of a sound mind in a sound body. To this end your physical surroundings and the intelligent leadership of your instructors have been planned. The measure of success which each one of you has attained is an individual matter, dependent upon your native ability, your health and the efforts you expended. Has your attitude been shoddy and inefficient? Did you get by with the least possible effort? Did you leave loose ends? Or, better, have you had the thrill of doing work and knowing that it had to be pronounced good! Look forward to the future with a full appreciation of whatever ability you may have been endowed with. Use that ability and your time to their fullest extent. There are wonderful ideas waiting to be caught, creative ideas that you can turn into usefulness, into power, even into income. Much thought is being given to greater opportunities for wider educational experiences for the boys and girls of your community. As you leave school life to become active participants in community life, we ask for your ideas and cooperation in developing larger areas of learning. Our Congratulations and Good Wislies accompany you on your further educational explorations and into your chosen fields of endeavor. WM. M. HIGH 10

LEWIS SNYDER, SUPERVISING PRINCIPAL Temple University, A.B.M.A. Ed.D. HOWARD M. NASE, PRINCIPAL Temple University, A.B. M.Ed. UI' Calla QP5 Hearty congratulations to every member of the 1951 graduating class of Sellersville-Perkasie High School. Twenty years ago the first graduating class of forty mem- bers left the school. Soon you will join a group of 1516 Sell-Perk alumni. I was tremendously impressed with the story about the loyalty of 2000 alumni of Williainson Trade School. In the last ten years they contributed over 52,200,000 to their Alma Mater. We hope and believe that you and all our alumni will give the same loyal moral support to your Alma Mater. I was thrilled by the magnificent valedictory of General MacArthur before Congress. What a contrast it was compared to the dregs recently dredged from the depths of depravity and dis- played to the public. Choose ye this day whom ye will serve and may you be successful in attaining worthwhile goals. Congratulations again, best wishes and God speed. LEWIS N. SNYDER Your school in its twenty years of existence has existed for the sole purpose of helping you to become good men and true. Your teachers have endeavored to help you to distinguish between the genuine and the shoddy, the truth and the half-truth, the right and the wrong. Ours was a great responsibility and opportunity, for goodness without knowledge is weak, yet knowledge without goodness is dangerousg both united form the noblest character, and lay the surest foundation of use- fulness to mankind. In reminiscing over the years at Sell-Perk, I hope it will be with pleasant recollections of truths learned, friends gained, and satisfactions honestly earned. I extend to each of you congratulations and friendly wishes for future success. HOWARD M. NASIE , ll
