Krebs 4 I TO THE CLASS OF 1956-- We extend to you, our graduates of 1956, sincere good wishes for success and happiness as you join the many who, too, have completed their high school education. Each year, thousands ofyoung people walk across stages to receive slips ofpaper which signify completion of another step in the process of learning. Each year, as graduates I assume their active places in the community, they face a challenge. Every generation in the history of mankind has had to meet new conditions in an ever-changing world. And you, graduates of 1956, may well assume that yours is no exception. Although you may say that times are different, you face the world of today with un- precedented advantages. We live in an age when educational opportunity has reached greater numbers than ever in the past. No generation has been as well equipped with the means to work out its problems. You have greater promise of successful careers than any group has ever known. These advantages, however, are yours to use. They will not operate to assure suc- 1 alw- lxv '41 as always, come from within yourselves. In wishing you well, we should remind again that there is only one answer to any prob- 4 I lem and that ishard workg there is but one answer to any challenge and that is courage: there is no answer to doubt but confidence.

Mr. Robert Tombrinck, left, and Mr. Dale Marcum, right, guidance instruc- tors, converse with Mr. C. A. Sheets, vet- eran boys' counselor, about problems of freshman students. More than any other South faculty members, the counselors deal most directly with the drama of life, and their collective services are designed to produce a happy ending. They work withthe students of their respective classes to plan a cur- ricular program which will insure a scholastic growth, meet their needs while they are in school, and prepare them for whatever course seems most advisable after graduation. In addition they aid their counselees in solvingpersonalproblems and show them the advisability of continuing their schooling and attending classes regularly. Junior and senior counselors also assist their charges in obtaining part-time and post graduationjobs and in securing information on colleges and scholarships.
