To the students of Warwick High School: I have the solemn duty as your principal to administer this school in such a way that each of you may be guided into living life in its fullest sense, keep- ing it well balanced intellectually, socially, morally, and spiritually. Offering you the mental and physical tools with which to build sound bodies and minds is the aim of this school. Words are but vehicles for ideas and when they are forgotten, the ideals which they carried are often in the hearts of hearers. The part that Warwick High School has played in shaping your lives is evidenced by the attitudes you exhibit. Through the principles and ideals given to you by education, realize the tasks before you; and with the help of God, go on to meet those tasks. Go as shining examples of what an American education really means. George G. Richards, Jr. Mr. Richards, Principal of Warwick High School. Mr. Richards and Mrs. Kostyal review the agenda for the day. Mrs. Kostyal is the new Assistant Principal and Dean of Girls at Warwick. 17
