Administration HARRY K. GERLACH To the Class of 1950: The following words, written by one of our prominent educators, illustrate the qualities of good citizenship we hope each class has at- tained as it passes through school. l quote, One of the major purposes of a free, public education in a democratic society such as ours is to make the individual socially competent. Social com- petence means much more than learning certain bodies of knowledge and mastering certain skills. It means the ability to live happy, healthy lives: to do well some part of the world's work. It means desirable attitudes, ideals, intelligent self-control, a sense of fair play, good sportsman- ship, consideration of the rights of others, and respect for law and order. It means the ability to live successfully with others, the ability to think, plan, and work together for the common good. We hope you have grasped some of these characteristics of social competence and will apply them to your daily living. Best wishes for success in your varied undertakings. CHARLES H. WISE To the Class of l95O: In considering a final Word to pass along to you graduates of the Class of 1950, it occurred to me that even though world events race along at an amazingly rapid pace, a message given to a class of graduates stays essentially the same. In spite of A-bombs, H-bombs, economic crises, and an ever-changing social order, you young folks hope to, and are expected to, find a secure place in our society. For some of you, that place will be more schoolingg for others, training for social services, and for still others, going right into a job. In any event, wherever that place may be, it is my earnest hope that you will use to your own best advantage, the knowledge which your teachers have helped you acquire. As you may know, the wise carry their knowledge, as they do their watchesg not for display, but for their use. I sincerely hope that the use to which you put your knowledge will be to improve your own lot, and thus contribute to the well-being of us all. My best wishes to each one of you for your success and personal happiness. HARRY K. GERLACH Supervising Principal Three CHARLES H. WISE
