Nineteen hundred and sixty-three has been an out- standing year in the annals of our country. Science and Technology are at an all time high. The United States has arrived in the Space Age with Gordon Cooper's suc- cessful orbiting ofthe world. Nineteen hundred and sixty-three is also the year of your graduation from Wilmington High School. We trust that it will be an outstanding year for each of you. We further hope that whatever plans you launch this year will be as successful as the launching of Gordon Cooper. However, it is well to remember that the space flight, so expertly maneuvered, did not take place solely by Gordon Cooper. Nor did it involve merely those few phenomenal hours in outer space. Countless men had both feet on the ground and put in endless months of planning and preparation before this flight could be achieved. So too in' your own case, countless parents, teachers, administrators, and civic minded citizens have spent years in the planning and preparation of your various careers. Dream the loftiest dreams, but keep both feet on the ground that you may see them materialize. Bernard P. McMahon Principal My parting words to you, the members of the Class of 1963, are to remember that we live under the greatest system of government in the whole world. lts success or failure depends upon citizen participation. I urge each and every one of you to live according to our laws, and, when you reach the voting age, to participate actively in voting for the best qualified can- didates for each public office, regardless of race, creed, or color. Communism is a constant threat to our nation, but l believe the greatest threat to our democratic way of .life comes not from the subversive groups dedicated to its overthrow, but rather from an apathetic citizenry. May each and every one of you be successful in your future endeavors. Harold E. Driscoll Assistant Principal
