'P Secretary MRS, DORRIS LOWRIE Superintendent GEORGE K, NELSON WILL YOU BUILD OR DESTROY? As the 1971-'72 School Year ends my hope is that you will realize the great heritage that is yours, by remem bering that the Good Lord gave you being and a soul, your parents gave you love and guidance, your teachers gave you knowledge, your friends give you trust, your Country gives you opportunity and life offers you a challenge These are priceless giftsj Now what will you do with them? Will you use them in building a firm foundation for the future: or will you ignore them and tear down what others have built for you? l watched them tearing a building down, A gang of men in a busy towns With a ho-heave-ho and a lusty yell They swung a beam and the sidewall fell I asked the foreman: Are these men skilled, And the men you'd hire if you had to build? He gave a laugh and said, No, indeed. Just common labor is all I need. I can easily wreck in a day or two Which Are You? What builders have taken a year to do! And I thought to myself as I want on my way Which of these roles have I tried to play? Am I a builder who works with care, Measuring life by the rule and square? Patiently doing the best I can? Or am I a wrecker, who walks the town, Content with the labor of tearing down? Author Unknown fgw, K Am I shaping my deeds to a well-made plan,

Secretary MRS, TINY PIERCE Principal DELVIN TASKA YOU ARE IMPORTANT You are important. When you were born the population of the United States, your state and your community increased by one. One more mouth to feed, one more body to clothe, one more potential patient for doctors and dentists, one more student for schools, one more member for a church, one more prospect for the undertaker, All these services and hundreds more, the community stands ready to furnish you. You will take pride in paying for them promptly. Besides these things you can pay for, you are inheritor of many things you can pay for only by doing something to continue the progress of humanity. This is the legacy of youth and you are now preparing yourself to accept this legacy and pay for it. May you do this grace- Delvin L. Taska , Principal fully and to the best of your individual abilities.
