CLARENCE A. ROTH HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL, UPPER PERKIOMEN HIGH SCHOOL Farewell seniors, is a word often lightly uttered and readily for- gotten. But when it marks the rounding-off and completion of a chapter in life, the severance of many and cherished ties, of the parting with many friends, it becomes somewhat difficult to utter. You are not departing from Upper Perkiomen High School empty- handed or alone. You go laden with happy memories. You go prepared to run a good race-to better meet the problems of life. Perhaps the prize you seek cannot be grasped today or tomorrow but if you set a goal, you can finally succeed. It has always been true that A man's reach should exceed his grasp. Best wishes. Ten

W STANLEY M. KURTZ SUPERVISING PRINCIPAL, UPPER PERKIOMEN JOINT scHooLs April 7, 1959 To the Class of 1959: . It has become fashionable in some circles to portray the public schools as the goat upon which to lay all blame for our apparent failure to terminate the cold war successfully. People so soon have forgotten that this Country -has become the great- est nation in the world because of the all-around high quality of its young me n and women. No one has dared to suggest that' the classroom influence through adolescence to young manhood or young womanhood might have been negligible. Everyone will agree that the highest standard of living ever known to man has been fashioned by the hands of those who had experienced many youthful years under the careful guidance and conscientious instruction of some well-remembered public school teachers. The Class of 1959 has a difficult role to perform. It becomes your solemn obliga- tion to reassure your critics and demonstrate to the world that the American form of free education will continue to produce, under God, the first citizens of the Universe.
