M I OVE aside please! The Class of 1956 is pulling out onto the avenues and highways of adult life. The time of your trip will vary with the individual, but regardless, you will be confronted with crossroads. Your best thinking will be required to make decisions which will be correct. Much of your travel will be done on secondary roads which are rough, full of curves, and treacher- ous. The major highways only feel smooth, straight, and satisfying as a re- sult of having experienced the secondary ones. Keep your destination clearly in focus. Use only those means for getting there which are not harmful to others. In all your trips, pause only long enough to set a new goal if needed and then move on with determination. A safe trip to you. 5 C. Paul Clark Principal

HE Theme of your 1956 Annual is Roads of Life. 1 would like to para- phrase this somewhat to read The Crossroads of Life. The Roads of Life are many and they criss-cross frequently during their course. At every cross- road you will have to make a decision as to which road you will follow. How well you have learned the lessons of your high school days and the attitudes which you have developed toward life will determine whether or not the road which you choose will be smooth or whether it will be rocky. At the point of high school graduation you are at one of these crossroads. The decision is yours to make as to which road you will now follow. Will you go on to college to prepare yourself for some vocation? Will you enter into the commercial life of our community or will you take one of the numerous other roads which will be beckoning unto you. I trust that the training which you have received in Union High School has prepared you to make the right decision at the crossroads where you now stand. Only time will tell. Mason J. Bodkin Supervising Principal 4
