, o Mr. Burkholder Superintendent To the Seniors-1956 The goal of education in the Green Local Schools as formulated with the help of teachers, pupils, and many people in our community, may be briefly stated in these words-To Know, To Do, and To Be. That is, to acquire fundamental knowledge and informationg to develop necessary and desirable skillsg to develop a personality backed by moral and spiritual values which make one an asset to ones society. You who are graduating this spring have achieved this goal in varying degrees. Mostly you have lived this phase of your life well and are to be commended for the contributions you have made. However, if you do not have the desire and courage to continue to grow in all these ways, you will be incapable of meeting the problems which you will find prevalent in each phase of your life. Economists, educators, and spiritual leaders pre- dict great things to happen in the next several decades. That is, if people on this earth will be able to live peacefully and if you and your fellow man will be ready and willing to do your part. Therefore, my hope for you is that you do not now consider your education complete. 0ne life time is only long enough to acquire a small portion of knowledge, of skill, and of moral and spiritual values. Only those who consider education a life process will be able to keep up. May you continue to grow and to enjoy each phase of your life. F. D. Burkholder Mr. McCay Principal Farewell to the Seniors . . . Each year the graduating class takes from our school some of our outstanding students. We always look at this parting with regret and a feeling that the boys and girls leaving us are not replaceable. We feel our school will not be quite the same without them. Then comes a new year bringing with it a new class. It's just like nature renews our surroundings each spring. Each year the flowers and trees seem more beautiful to us, if we are appreciative and look for beauty. So it is with our school. Each graduating class takes with them a part of our school lives, but each entering class furnishes us with resources anew. We are truly grateful for your contributions to our school for the last four years. We believe you are ready to take greater responsibility and to meet more serious challenges to your ability. May your rewards be rich in future happiness and your success in proportion to your efforts.
