Message from the President Vanguards — Take Your Place!! This is the year when Sun Valley takes its place among the leading schools of our county and state. You, as the Sun Valley Vanguards, have blazed the trail and are now our first graduating class. Your collective and individual contributions to the success of our school have been many and varied, and we hope satisfying and rewarding. Now the time has come for you to venture forth into the world and make your mark in life. Some of you will go to.college; some of you will seek technical training; others will Find jobs in industry. Whatever your choice may be, remember, your time upon the stage of life is but brief and in this drama each of you must play a part. The character is left for you to choose. It is our hope that you will make your choice with a deep sense of obligation and fidelity to the world society in which you will be living. Those of us on the Board of Education who have been given the responsibility of providing the buildings, the teachers, and the supplies, which have made your education possible, are proud of the accomplishments you have made. As we meditate upon our past endeavors, we realize that perhaps both students and board members could have done better, but this is not the time to dwell upon our past shortcomings. It is a time to catch inspiration for a high resolve to build upon our past experiences. Future successes will not come easily. You will find many of your triumphs will be bought by disappoint ments. It is our hope that the education you have received will teach you to enjoy your triumphs with good grace and to meet your disasters with courage and a will to start anew. Today we rejoice with you in seeing your high school and the Vanguards take their rightful place among the schools of Delaware County. We look forward to observing you through the years as you take your respective ploces in the world — proud graduates of Sun Volley High School. 6

Supervising Principal’s Message TRUE WORTH True worth is in being, not seeming. In doing, each day that goes by. Some little good — not in dreaming Of great things to do by and by. — Alice Gary Mr. William G. Moser Supervising Principal What in life is of most worth? For centuries philosophers have pondered this question. Is it wealth or health or prestige or friendship? Some people who lead apparently happy and productive lives seem to have found the answer; others, wallowing in despair and deprived of the feeling of satisfaction that comes from a task well done, still seem to be searching for the meaning of true worth. You who have traveled the path of life through the first stages of your education now continue your journey in quest of true worth as you seek to make your contribution to the world in which you live. As you face the challenges which will confront you, it will be well for you to remember that true worth can be found in doing some little good each day. And when the going is rough, as it is likely to be, keep your mind set on true worth, but at the same time, lest you become too dis- couraged, it might be well to remember that one of the poets also tells us —■ Heaven is not gained at a single bound; But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies. And we mount to its summit round by round. — Josiah Gilbert Holland
