ROBERTS.WATT Efamanfazy cguflafzuiaofz Difcacfofz of gfamanfamy fducation You, the class of 1978, are about to begin a new life. As you look back with fond recollections of the years that you have spent at South Allegheny, you will come to realize that now is the time when you must take your rightful place in society. Our society needs competent people in all types of professions and vocations. As long as your endeavor is honorable, the manner in which you fulfill it is far more important than the position itself. Be sincere in all that you undertake, for true success can be determined only by your own feelings and the way that you perceive yourself. We hope that our years together have prepared you to begin a fine career and a useful life. May each of you accomplish your goals and attain true success. Robert S. Platt, Ed. D. ROBERTPETRARCO
