PRINCIPAL MR. john a. Mclennan To The Class of 1967.. Dear Graduates: May I take this opportunity to say “Farewell” and to wish you the best of things to come. Your high school years have come and gone much more quickly than I, and possibly you, would have wished. Now you stand at the door of a new life. A good portion of your youth has been spent in school. Now you move on—some to more schooling, some to work. What the future will bring is, for the most part, unknown—but how you face it depends on the kind of person you are now. The great American dream is happiness. It seems that we as Americans are dedicated to its pursuit. As your “teacher,” (after all, the principal is the head teacher in a school) may I present some last words of advice— Some of you are never going to find happiness—you may pass it by, always thinking it is up ahead. Unless you learn now or very shortly that happiness is a state of mind which cannot be purchased with money, you are doomed to a lifetime of seeking without finding. Happiness is really an “attitude”—it belongs to no special age or condition. It is the ability of the individual to feel and believe that no matter what goes on around him, the world and people in it arc basically good; that for every sorrow and misfortune that befalls him, the good outweighs the bad. Happi- ness is loving and caring for others and giving more than receiving. Above all, it is sharing—with family, wtih friends, with neighbors. That is my final wish for you—much happiness—but earn it, pursue it intelligently. With mixed feelings of joy and sorrow, I say “Goodbye.” Just remember these years and return our affection for you by living decently and with kindness. J Sincerely yours, John A. McLennan Principal 11
