Your journey these past twelve years hasn’t been too difficult, but many of those who started with you did not have your pre- sistence and desire to succeed. Keep your perseverance . There will be many times when life will not be easy and only by con- tinued perseverance and effort will you attain your goal. We have endeavored to lay a firm foundation for those of you who will pursue higher education and to teach all of you stand- ards of clean living, high moral conduct and fair play. Our best wishes and Godspeed. Sincerely, J. D. Chase Advisors i 1 D 0 Dear Senior, Soon you are to graduate from Winchester High School, which gives me reason to write you these words of good wishes. We often hear statements about the good “Ole days’’ but I’m of the opinion that the good new days lie ahead, and the wonderful part about it is that you have the opportunity to share the good things to come.. As you go forth into broader fields of en- deavor may I offer you this advice --If you can’t find a way, then make one. Friendly J. H. Flack I faculty First Row, Left to Right: C. M.
