DE NARDO Social Studies If our nation is to survive upon the basis on which it was founded, we must keep foremost in our thinking, that success of ct Democracy is de- pendent upon the ability of its indi- vidual members to take a worth while part in the lite of the commu- nity, the state, and the nation. This depends upon the ability and the worthiness ot all individuals to co-operate, to overcome prejudices, to appreciate the contributions of our society, oi other individuals and groups, and to make contributions of his own. May you always be able to say, l am doing my best to make Democracy live. Bertil C. Gustavson, Assistant Principal WALTER S. GROSCHKE Industrial Art DOROTHY M. EVANS Social Studies, Languages ROSE M.

BELL Mathematics Science Science Science For each of you graduating from Strong Vincent, my hope is that you will enjoy a long and richly satisfying life. Each person's lite holds promise of exciting developments but the next fifty years intrigue one with their potential greatness. The telescope at Palomar is giving us knowledge of space. Atomic fission and fusion have indicated tremendous new sources of power to do man's bidding. Many diseases have already been con- trolled and new discoveries may make mankind free of crippling illnesses. Man has learned how to increase his food supply, and better nutrition for all seems a possibility. Civilizations must learn to live in peace with one another. Will this too, be accomplished in your lifetime? I trust that all undergraduates will find their experiences, here at Strong Vincent, both profitable and enjoyable. The edu- cational level of the average American has already passed the eleventh grade. The future demands more and better education for all. America and America's schools will meet the challenge of the future. FRANCES M. BENEDICT LURA wh. BIERS KENNETH A. BLAKE RUTH M, BRAUNGER Enqhsh Oflhopedlc 5 SCi9f1C9 Home Economics
