U-E Board of Education Left to right: Mrs. Gartrude Calleo, Mr. Clifford Crane, Mr. Mario George, president, Mr. Gerald Reynolds, Dr. J. Glezen Watts. MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF 1958: The casual observer will not easily discern, much less define, the complexity of ingredients for the Recipe For Education at U-E. To bring together in total comprehension the many ingredients of the warm realities of human living and of the cool abstractions of academics which you have experienced at UE would be a great task for anyone to undertake. Indeed, it is questionable that anyone in a lifetime would be able to know, in the strictest possible meaning of the term, the complete Recipe. Yet each, to his individual ability, can develop a sensitive awareness of the multiplicity of ingredients therein. By applying the different types of knowledge 7 that dependent upon the five senses, that dealing with abstractions of mathematical precision, and that by which we know our Cod - each of you can develop an awareness of the increasing potential for personal growth you have now for having partaken of the Recipe at UE. The material facilities and supplies, the curricular disci- plines and services, and most importantly, the total involvement you experi- enced with subject matter, fellow-students, and teachers can constitute the basis for continued sustenance and enrichment of your personal lives and the lives of those with whom you come in contact. The Board of Education joins in extending best wishes for the greatest suc- cess possible in the development of an ever-increasing awareness of the Recipe selected as the theme of the class of 1959. 8

A Message From Our Superintendent A recipe may be defined as a formula for preparing a dish in cookery or as a method of attaining a desired end. Therefore, in choosing a recipe, whether in the field of food or education, we need to know what kind of product we want. As I reflect upon the kind of product which I want from educa- tion, I am led to recommend the followingrecipe: An inquiring mind + wholesome knowledge + constructive attitudes + hard work + a mature personality + good health + an understanding ofthe purpose of hfe If good educadon and success You are about to complete one phase of your education, but you can follow for the rest of your life the educational recipe which I have just described. You may leave out one or more ingredients and still achieve partial success, but you cannot achieve complete success unless all of the ingredients are present in the proper amounts. Just as no one can tell by looking at a cake whether any of the necessary ingredients have been left out, so no one can tell by your outward appearance whether you have within you all of the ingredients neces- sary for complete success. However, you, like the cook who made the cake, will not be able to enjoy complete satisfaction if you fail to follow the recipe. ft- -l4w,?v, DR. KRUM

When you make a cake, using the best or the most costly ingredients does not guarantee a perfect resultg the cook is the determining factor. So it is with an education. At U-E we have tried to supply you with the best ingredientsg your use of these will determine whether your education will be the best or just mediocre. lt is my hope that the education you have received at U-E will supply you with the basic materials for further advances in leaming and a suc- cessful future. DEWITT S. WOODARD Associate Principal MISS MARY L. PITKIN Principal Events of recent years bring us to the realization that there is now a greater need for trained intelligence and imagination than ever before. Educational opportuni- ties must be extended to more young people in this very complex society. But extending opportunities is not enough. High school pupils must accustom themselves to hard intellectual activity in order that they will be better prepared to meet their responsibilities after grad- uation. Only in this way can we make the best possible contribution to society. This is the challenge. Are we ready to accept it? aafmz:-,J Wh-44.2
