DEDICATION W-. L 414 MR. LLOYD H. MILLER As a token of our affection, we, the class of 1955, choose to dedicate this edition of the Wilson High School Wilsonian to Mr. Lloyd H. Miller. A helping hand to one and all throughout our senior high years, he has been most generous with his time, eH'ort, and patience. We will always remember current event quick- ies and his grandmother, but most of all we remember his famous saying, All is Fair in Love, War and P.A.D.

It is gratifying to record the successes you have attained in the brief span of your lifetime. We trust that you will pause for a moment's reflection. Have you expressed sin- cere words of appreciation to your parents, teachers and all others who helped make possible these proud moments in your lives? Are you aware of the fact that the mere praise of works already accomplished is not sufficient? It is well to remember that commencement, in the true sense, is only the beginning of ffthe great task that lies before us. The worthwhileness of life itself becomes a reality in direct proportion to the efforts expended to maintain and strengthen our way of living. You have the potential of becoming a conscientious servant in whatever profession or vocation you may choose as your life's work. You have exemplified this by your many cooperative efforts in curricular and extra- curricular activities while attending the public schools of your great Keystone State. We congratulate you as members of the first graduating class since the organization of the Wilson Joint School System. You have made outstanding contributions toward the establishment of good will which is for the common good of all future graduates of Wilson High School. We look to you for your continued interest in and sup- port of your Alma Mater. To each of you our best wishes for a happy and successful life. IZAM You were born amidst a surge of power by dictators try- ing to conquer a world civilization by brute force. You were enrolled in the primary grades of a free public school program in a free America at a time when the world was divided by many different ideologies. Now at your graduation the Western Wforld is dedicated to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and steadfast in the belief that the principles of Faith, Hope and Love are to govern and direct men's minds in world affairs. Yes, in this freedom-loving country of ours you are faced with new ways to use the personal professional services in behalf of mankind. Technocracy is more real than ever, calling you to engineering, medicine, law, teaching, preaching and the social services. You need still more education, further development of your human resources, refinement of your heritage and culture, and a revitali- zation of your spiritual virtues. It takes real courage to face the facts of honest hard work and long hours of toil as being essential to live and develop our minds and master techniques and skills to compete in this modern atomic age. Continually prepare yourself to meet the challenge of new times and new ways. Yong opportunity to thrive and live better in 1955 is at han .
