New wing continued steel equipment. These new rooms and equipment will enable the cafe- teria workers to feed 1400 children in 25 hours and eliminate the usual rush and hurry apparent in the small cafeteria. Each classroom is equipped with a sink and drinking fountain. The wall colors in the classrooms are two or more pastel shades, plus eye saver chalk boards. The ceilings are sound proof plaster. The extension of the gymnasium, with an electric holding door which divides the gym into two separate parts, makes it possible to seat seven hundred spectators.

This is an achievement of great worth and one of which you can al- ways be proud. Graduation opens for you another door, a door through which you glimpse the op- portunities of the future with its challenges, opportunities and goals. Step through the door with a steadfast heart and a firm deter- mination that you will reach the goals ahead. Goals are standards by which one can measure his success and progress, they furnish the dynamic for the long hours of grueling effort which must be done. That is the history of human achievement. You step through a door and see a new goal. You then use this as a handhold to pull yourself to new and higher levels of accomplishment, accomplishments which you may have thought to be impossible. Accept the challenge and may your determination burn with a fierce and steady flame all challenges met, all goals at- tained. 5 Board Cf Education Seated: Carl Bird, Kenneth Stearns, Leslie Strong, Hiram Good- rich, District Superintendent.
