A Message From Mr. Schliess It is a great privilege for me to write a few sentences to you in your yearbook. Also I am glad to have a chance to thank you for your hospitality, helpfulness and friendship. Special thankfulness is owed to your superin- tendent E. Allen, your principal MacLeod and your teachers for spend- ing so much time with me to make my stay her so interesting and success- ful. Once a German author wrote the words that everybody should regard everybody's fatherland but he should love his own. I like these words very much and I am glad to know that all Americans I met had the same idea and they are interested in European and German problems. Even the chil- dren in school showed great interest, and sometimes they had more ques- tions than the adults. That was fine for they are the critics and leaders of the future. Some of you students are to be congratulated for getting the High School Degree. Be proud of it because you had to work for it and on the other hand for it shows you want to attribute your part in civilization and culture in the U.S.A. I am glad to be with you and I wish you all luck and success in your future life. As I learned you get this book to remember your school life, your teachers, and fellow students. I like this idea very much, and I ain glad to be in a picture too. If you remember sometime that there was a teacher from Germany for three weeks in your school and if you learned from him that we German people want to be friends with you and that we work very hard to keep freedom and to get a real democracy in our country, then he did the best job of his life and his visit in Strong will show a posi- tive result sometimes. That is what I hope and wish. Thank you again for your goodness and willingness to understand the German situation. Good luck to all of you, HERMAN PETER SCHLIESS
