20 Pel Beet BORON gees CLASS DAY WELCOME As President of the graduating class of 1949, it gives me pro- found pleasure to welcome our schoolmates, faculty and friends to these class day exercises. During the past four years we have been acquiring an educa- tion which is so vitally important in preparing us for whatever problems may confront us. This education and training will enable us to meet our future problems with confidence. Whatever we have accomplish- ed has been with the assistance of the faculty, and to them I wish to extend our sincerest thanks and appreciation for their help and encouragement. Now we are going to share with you some of the fond memo- ries of our high school career which we sincerely hope you will enjoy. JAMES FRANCIS ADVICE TO THE JUNIORS As veterans of this institution of learning, we, the graduating class of 1949, wish to leave some worthy advice to next year’s seniors. We believe that if this advice is accepted and followed they will have a successful year. Adopt for your motto, “The difficult we do immediately; the impossible takes a little longer.” The study hall is for study purposes, not for discussing personal problems. After all, there may be some who want to do their home work. Give them a chance! Always be polite and respectful to your teachers. You are setting an example for the underclassmen. Always maintain class unity. When a vote is passed let it stand. Don’t try to change it to please a certain few. As seniors you should support all school activities for you set a standard for the underclassmen to follow in the field of sports as well as in the class room. Another bit of advice is to make the most of the opportunities presented to you in this, your last year in high school. Don’t think that because you are seniors you can take over complete control of the school or do as you please. If you disregard rules and regulations, what can you expect of the underclassmen? Finally, be appreciative of the fact that you have the privilege or attending high school and that your teachers are striving hard to help you gain an education that will serve you throughout life.
