graduate, delivers the address at the dedicatory program. DEDICATORY ADDRESS - The Honorable Henry V. Scheirer, a Whitehall Bricks, iron, mortar, wood, and stone enable man to fashion walls of churches, courthouses, and schools. But if man's mind has no opportunity to exercise deep thought, prayer, and meditation behind these walls, the signifi- cance of the building can never be attained. A church needs spiritual, God-fearing people, a courthouse needs public-minded men, and a school needs active students, interested in education and life. Whitehall presently has, and has had in the past, men and women who as students utilize their interests and talents to benefit the school community, and who, in later years, direct their time and efforts to community and world improvement. To these alumni, past and future, the i960 WHITEHALL is dedicated. Alumni who are pictured throughout this book are not honored as individuals who have achieved their own per- sonal glory, but rather as representatives of all alumni who have gone forth in their respective fields to attain higher goals and create better ideals for present White- hall students to admire and emulate, To the left is the Honorable Henry V. Scheirer, a pres- ent iudge of the Court of Common Pleas of Lehigh County, and alumnus of Whitehall, class of 1925. During the past year he gave the dedicatory ad- dress, and hailed the new building as a place to think, to work, to live. He also stated that education has new challenges for almost every generation. To meet the challenges Whitehall needs people - able administrators, interested teachers, students, and citizens, and you, the respected and admired alumni.
