THE WORDS OF OUR PRINCIPAL rv»k ’ ' E m il Congratulations to the graduating class of 1966. You have the unique distinction of being the last class to graduate from Torrence- Lytle High School. You represent the end of a dream for education and prog ress for Negro youth of this district through facilities, equipment, and encourage- ments from an all Negro school. It should certainly behove each of you to prove worthy of the distinction you enjoy. May you ever exemplify the ideals, attitudes, inspiration and aspiration that your teachers and parents have striven hard to instill with- in you. It is one great hope of all of us who have been privileged to have a part in shaping your lives and molding your character, that you have acquired or developed an insatiable desire to achieve and excel and to make a contribution to society commensurate with your ability. Many students who have preceded you have made achievements worthy of high commendations. May you, too, make footprints that others will be honored to follow. As our school, and perhaps many of us, are phased out of the educa- tional process, our old dream has already been replaced by a new and greater hope upon the horizon. Our cup of joy overflows as a real op- portunity for a better education for Negro youth of our community becomes a reality. You, who now leave to take your respective places in a world that is very cruel to the unintelligent, the uninformed and the unprepared individual, must never forget that you have just begun your education. With the proper attitude and an open mind, your high school career should leave you properly prepared for the most fruitful and challenging days of a suc- cessful life. Let each block placed within your path become a stepping stone, and each failure a proving ground for a successful adventure. Aim high, think tall, and work with an indomitable determination to succeed, and success will be yours. 8
