F0 'Jul Edwin W. Rowell Superintendent of Schools In providing a connection or passageway be- tween two areas, an archway can be one of the more beautiful sights in architecture. It may be an integral part of a building, or a free- standing structure such as an entrance to a garden, or an awe-inspiring structure such.as the Romans built to commemorate military victories. In relation to your growth and education, the archway is symbolic of the moment in time when you complete your high school education. At that moment you will be passing from a familiar way of life into a new one. You will be passing from the protected ways of childhood and youth into the self-disciplined ways of adulthood. So we welcome you as you come through your Archway bringing your knowledge, cour- age and optimism to your new life. Knowledge, in truth, is the great sun in the firmament. Life and power are scattered with all its beams. -Daniel Webster As Daniel Webster spoke at the laying of the cornerstone of the Bunker Hill Monument in 1825, he struck a note of truth with the above statement that is more meaningful for you to- day. Have you used the past twelve years to your advantage? Are you prepared for life in an uncertain future? . If your answers to these questions are in the affirmative, you must know that there are two important concomitants for successful liv- ing. One of these is the realization that your fund of knowledge is like one blossom on a tree. It takes many blossoms for a full bloom. You cannot be satisfied with what you know but need to strive continually for greater knowledge. The other is that knowledge without a sense of justice and responsibility is not only useless but can be evil. Your parents and teachers have endeavored to provide the basis for a knowledge and satisfying future. Now it is up to you. What will you contribute to your com- munity and yourself? 4 Elton B. Smith Principal

MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE With the constant demands being put on the incoming college students, it is therefore a greater responsibility on the part of the secondary school systems to see that our youngsters are ready to compete for a place in the college classroom. We are most fortunate that the communities have presented us with ample facilities and funds to see that this challenge is met and the door to future success is opened for our graduates. We are also aware of the necessity of a well-rounded background in our subjects in producing responsible and contributing citizens for a better community and for a better America. It is, therefore, our aim to do our best to fill all the needs of our youngsters, regardless of their chosen pursuits, in order that we may share in the building of a great and prosperous nation.
