To the class Seniors approaching graduation often tend to be concerned with the future of the world and the individual parts they may plan in its destiny. In this light, I am reminded of a discussion which took place some years ago in a Neiv York llerald Tribune Youth Forum on THE WORLD WE WANT. An 18 year old delegate from the Philippine Islands made a con¬ tribution that was stated something like this: ‘Usually, when I discuss with people the kind of world we want, they astonish me by describing a Utopia without cares. As for me, I like this world we have. I like living in this century, so full of strivings and plans that I feel part of a wonderful and exciting experiment. I like the suspense which give to life its only true zest. Let me have this world,with dreams for me to dream and problems for me to solve.’ Past generations are certainly leaving the Class of 1988 no Utopia, but I suggest you give this world a vote of confidence for you are makers of the future world With its cleanliness and dirt, its ups and downs, and its total unexpectedness, it has given, through variety, more pleasure than pain to us. Whatever else it may be, this particular century is still the broadest, the most exciting, and the most promising of all. For each of you, members of the Class of 1988, may this world always be as challenging as it is. May it always have something to be solved, patched, or mended May it never be a soft place for soft people. May it always be a world where one can prove his worth by facing his troubles. May your world always be of such challenge and scope that your lives never become complacent, but remain always worth living. Congratulations to the Class of 1988 on your accomplishments thus far. I wish you the very best of luck with your future. Sincerely, Dewaine B. Craig Superintendent You have just completed four years of preparation towards your life’s goal. It is my hope that you do not look at graduation as the final achievement, but rather as the beginning of more to come. As always, some of the graduating class have had to work harder than others to achieve this goal. Let me leave you with this thought: ‘That which we acquire with the most difficulty we retain longest, as those who have earned a fortune are usually more careful of it than those who have inherited one.’ As you set and achieve future goals, may you also put your best effort into them so that you will be proud and want to preserve them as you would a fortune. My best wishes to you. Theodore R. Davis Principal
