To the Class of l95O: The services of a school are meas- ured largely by the quality of its products. You are the most recent graduates of Upper Merion and we take justifiable pride in you as the products of our school. We hope that what happened to you in Upper Merion as you grew from children to young men and Women was pleasurable and that your experiences in school have prepared you for Whatever situations you may meet in your adult life. With these hopes go our sincere Wishes for full and rich lives. Sincerely, WARREN H. COCKLIN, Superintendent B. S., Franklin CS Marshall College M. A., University of Pennsylvania D. Ed., University of Pennsylvania Class of 1950: When you Were about one year old, you attempted to take your first steps. This was a serious experience and you had some difficulty. At first you leaned on chairs and tablesg you falteredg you fell downg you cried. Mother or Dad picked you up and petted you, and gave you encouragement. At last you walked alone from object to object, and you were proud. Your twelve years in school have been similar to learning to Walk. You needed help and you got it. Sometimes it was sympathy or advice or even a scolding. At last you have made it. Now you are about to take your sec- ond series of steps. Many of you will go in different directions. Iust how will you Walk? Will it be to the left of the road, or will it be to the right? My Wish for each one of you is that you Walk straight ahead on your chosen road. Walk with your heads held high in the direction that will bring you the greatest happiness, good health, and much success. Sincerely, ROBERT R. STRINE, High School Principal B. S., Ursinus College M. S., Bucknell University. -11-
