The Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools will conduct our evaluation. The following have been appointed as a steering committee to co-ordinate the activities of all the re- maining committees: Mr. Wise, Mr. Jordy, Mr. Schmidt, and Mr. Altland. They will be advisory members of all functioning committees. Our self- Be men and women far too proud To wear the darksome shroud Of cowardice and treason to your day.

Public concern is based, in short, upon a new sense of the relationship between the quality of education and the future of America. True education never has been and never will be limited to the years of life spent in school and college. Let us remember always that education begins in the home at the mother's knee and at the fatheris side and continues through all the years of life, to the very end. The best education is that which does most to enable each student to develop his abilities and to serve society. . As you go forth into this complex troubled world, you may be stimulated by the challenges and sobered by the responsibilities of life. Above all, Hnd happiness in things about you. Wilson G. Gallagher Supervising Principal A healthy body, a disciplined mind, and an unimpeachable character are the goals we hope we have helped you attain while students in the West York Area Schools. You are now entering the first unchaperoned stage of your life. Only you can make the choices which will determine the future success of your life. I trust the formal instruction and the informal experiences at West York Area High School will help you in making the best choices. I want to congratulate your parents for their efforts and sacrifices so that you could be a member of the graduating class of 1960. Best wishes for a happy and successful future. William F. Goodling Principal 8
