PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Seniors -— the term Senior has been defined as a person who is more advanced in dignity and rank. We who have watched you, the Watertown High School Seniors of nineteen hundred and fifty, grow from insigni- ficant Freshmen to your Senior year in high school, believe that you have qualified for this title to a great extent. It has been a pleasure to work, plan, and advise with you during your four years in Senior High School. We have found you to be very cooperative, understanding, and sincere in your scholastic responsi- EL TLLeS . At present you are referred to as the Senior Class. Within a few short weeks you will be thought of as individuals with your separate battles to fight. Your ultimate attainments will be up to you as an individual. We sincerely trust that we have given you a sound and sensible foundation upon which you may build your future. We had hopes that we could send you out into a world of peace and quietness, but - you who have come through the horrors of war and international upheaval - the dreadful age of the Atomic Bomb - are approaching the era of a still more deadly weapon - the Hydrogen Bomb - we trust that you may be able to cope with this world. It is not yours to solve the problems of the universe, but to find your duty and to restrain yourself within its bounds. The real test of your knowledge is not what the World thinks you know, but what the world sees you do. Knowledge has, in our time, triumph- ed, and is triumphing, over pre- judice and over bigotry. The Civi- lized and Christian world is fast learning the great lesson, that -difference of nation does not imply necessary hostility, and that all contact need not be war. The whole world is becoming a common field for intellect to act in. Energy of mind, genius, power, wheresoever it exists, may speak out in any tongue, and the world will hear it. Daniel Webster
