SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF 1979 We all look back on the things you have learned and or the things we have tried to teach over the last few years. Many of us see gaps. There are gaps in areas where adults and employ¬ ees feel you should be knowledgeable (like checkbooks, loans, parenting) but you, having had no immediate need for the information, couldn’t have cared less. I’m sure that schools will return in the near future to con¬ centrating more on what the society feels our younger citizens need in the future and concentrating less on what the young people feel that they need or want now. But in the meantime, your education, broadly speaking, may have significant gaps. You have an immediate reason to be a continuing learner in practical, wordly concerns. The current statistics on overex¬ tended credit, on divorce, and on wife and child beating show this clearly. I can only wish for you that as you increase in maturity, you respect what you don’t know, that you take steps to learn before you leap. Your basic studies here will provide a solid foundation, but you need to continue to build. You stand a far better chance of being in control, of your career, of your finances, of your emotions, and, if it applies, of your marriage and your children — if you plan and build thoughtfully. God love you. Edward P. Yaglou WILLIAM CAREY, Assistant Superintendent ADMINISTRATION DR. EDWARD YAGLOU, Superintendent PETER FARRELLY, Associate Superintendent 18
