Mr Paynter SUPERINTENDENT The musucal theme of thus yearbook ns a most flttmg one Plato once wrote that Muslcal tramlng IS a more potent Instrument than any other because rhythm and harmony find their way unto the unward places of the soul on which they mlghtuly fasten A full llfe as the conscious or unconscious alm of every undlvldual we mnght say the alm of the world for the world IS nothmg more than the sum total of mdnvlduals If the consciousness of the mdnvudual ns nght and constructive the world problems must of necessity adlust themselves By establushmg harmony In the mdlvndual conscuousness harmony of mass consciousness must follow for In the fundamental things of llfe undvvlduals differ very llttle The desnre for more 'oy more love more health more happmess us unnversal and makes us all akm Thus lufe of completeness IS not a mere dream but can be attamed through education of self Real educatlon develops energy power and best of all faith It develops so much fanth that there IS no room for fear Fauth nn anything IS a tremendous asset but faith In one s mner self as a source of power and truth that changes everythmg for the better It us my hope that each and every member of the graduating class wlll attain thus mner harmony that wull lead to a full hfe of 'oy love health and happiness To the class of 1953 Good Luck' Very smcerely FRED B PAYNTER Superintendent 'I2 I Q Riff , gk, n -n . . . . . ,, . 1 . . . . .
