-ji., Tj -3.37-- ? :L'W-v The next decade, 1950-1960-what will it bring forth-for you stu- dents, for Two Rivers, for America, for all the world? A ten-year period doesn't look so big to one who has finished his sixth decade, but to young pleople who have not completed their second, it is a very substantial period o time. Some decades have acquired colorful names like the Gay 'Nineties, which I remember quite vividly. The l95O's, however, may not be very gay. You stand on the threshold of a period of unpredictable possibilities for each one of you in your personal life, for civilization and democracy and peace throughout the world, Especially seniors of the Class of 1950 will step from the sheltered life of Washington High School, against a backdrop of tremendous events, into a life of uncertainty, but one promis- ing rich rewards for those who face its challenge with courage, resource- fulness, and determination. The atom bomb, the hydrogen bomb, weekend trips to the moon-these are awesome and terrible things to think about! Yet each one of you, equipped with a high school education, can do at least a little, perhaps more, to make the world better than it was. Godspeed and best wishes for a glorious and satisfying experience in the years that lie ahead between now and sixty. L. B. Clarke L.. 5.- r- E lt is our fervent hope that the '50s may prove a decade of opportunity and advancement for the Washington High graduates cf 1950! Your Future in the '5Os must include some planned contributions toward the preservation of our democratic way of life and the perpetuation of our democratic ideals. You will have to have the basic facts and skills in the future that lies ahead, but more important you will have to be men- tally alert and physically strong and aware of your need for personal development. You will want to develop those interests, appreciations and gualities of character, which show themselves in intelligent, wholesome behavior. In this decade ahead, you will realize the importance of ability to think critically. You will want to develop those attitudes and understand- ings that will help you to become effective citizens. You will have to develop vocational skills and be able to make meaningful application of them to the problems and job situations that will develop for you in the business world of tomorrow. lt is our hope that your educational program has equipped you well for your vocational future. Education and business go hand in hand. Each is essential in the American way of life. Continue your education in the store, on the farm, in the factory, the offices, the colleges or university, or on one of the many highways of American life. Guide that program to the end that your contribution to America may be a real one. George M. O'Brien BOARD OF EDUCATION- left to right: Superintendent George O'Brien, Ray Hal- verson, Louis Cretton, Roland Becker, Miss Mildred Daetz, secretary, W. F.
