You have found e means of expressing lone creative talent is developing the theme and planning the Oiliflllo The power of expression has been developed through the various printed pages You have learned to discriminate in assembling the materials. You have learned to submerge self and cooperate in a group endeavor for the benefit of a project larger than self Some of you now know what it means to present a much cherished idea to a group and find yourself forced to give up a little in order to conform to the will of the group Perhaps the greatest value of ll has been the lesson that to do anything worth while requires a lot of hard, consecrated work and the wholehearted cooperation of all concerned. You have worked hard, you have cooperated, the community has been generous in its financial sup- port and I believe you have 1n this book s job well done. Your 1mmediate interest in thi book is probably concerned more w1th how many times your picture ap ears and how many times your name is mentioned, but in later years your interest will not be in what the book offers you at the moment but what you had to offer to the book. If you were consecrated to your job and grve to it your best, then this book alll always be a cherished record of your high school life. C'.C.h'La.
