Principal ' s Address To the Class of 1950: Perhaps the most significant commentary on the fine achievements of the Class of 1950 is that many of your accomplishments took place during a period of adversity and were accompanied by the discouraging mouth- ings of those who said in many ways that it couldn ' t be done. There is no need for me to repeat for you all the pat phrases of the pessimist who prefers to make no effort to accomplish anything. Throughout your lives you will hear those phrases in one form or another: This isn ' t the time to do it. It ' s never been done. Things are too tough this year. Perhaps we ought to study it further. This year you disregarded those cautious phrases and succeeded in many fine accomplishments, among which is an annual of which we can all be proud. You have produced an enviable record of cooperation and of progress des- pite circumstances which may loom foreboding now, but which will be relegated to insignificance as the years pass. The lesson is an obvious one, one which I hope you will carry with you always. The smallness of man is measured by the little things which trip him up; the greatness of man is determined by the size of the obstacles he overcomes. The Class of 1950 has demonstrated the ability to overcome obstacles. As a group and as individuals that spirit will carry you far. The future holds bright promises for those who meet its challenges. Your teachers, parents, and friends wish you Godspeed. RICHARD A. Principal GRODIN
