PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE In graduating from high school you have reached an important mile- stone in your lives. Although the occasion is a happy one for you, it is also a time when, perhaps, you should pause for a moment in self analysis - to take stock of your aims in life, your talents, your attitude toward your neigh- bors, and your responsibilities to your community. Whether or not graduation from high school means the end of your formal education, you will still have many problems to solve and much studying to do. Remember that learning is a never ending process for an alert citizen and does not, and should not, end at any period in life. It has been a pleasure to have worked with you during your high school years. Your cooperation and support have been greatly appreciated. Congratulations and good luck.

These create many difficult and unsolved problems that the graduate must consider in order to fulfill his ambitions and goals. Many students, at this point in their lives, are undecided and don't know which course to take because of the many ways to follow. Their parents want the best for them and try to encourage them to the best of their ability. Many students follow the same paths in life, but they should learn to think and reasdii for themselves and take paths which aren't so beaten to make ways of their own. It is not always the hunter who hunts the same beaten trails in the wood who gets his Buck, but the daring and ambitious ones who take a new way. This is the way the people in the world are living today. It is not only the old ways which are best, but the new and ambitious ones of the young people of the world.
