Every sTudenT who was enrolled aT ShaTTer High School has conTribuTed in some way To The making of This book, alThough only a Tew oT Them acTually were acTive on The yearbook sTaTT. I Think ThaT we can be proud of our record as a school during This period oT Time. While The enTire sTudenT body shared in The record achieved by The ToTal school, each oT you as an individual wroTe a record which will be longer lasTing and oT even greaTer imporTance Than The evenTs recorded in This yearbook. The seniors who are leaving us This year will soon be assuming The responsibiliTies oT adulT ciTizens. I ho e ThaT your record Els an individual is such ThaT you may be proud oiDiT, now and in The uTure. I should like To wish our graduaTing seniors ever success as They assume Their res onsibiliTies in adulT liTe. For many oi! Them Their graduaTion Trom higli school will mark The end of Their Tormal educaTion: however, iT is our hope ThaT we have provided a ToundaTion upon which They can build and which will help Them conTinue To learn a Tew Things ThroughouT Their liTe. IT is only To The exTenT To which They have Taken advanTage oT The educaTional opporTuniTies oTTered Them here ThaT Their high school educaTion will be of value To Them as adulT ciTizens. - A. H.
