Mr. Kenneth F. Huff, Superintendent June 10, 1971 Dear Graduates: Now, we come to that time of the year when we shed a few tears because of the parting. We are going to miss you, and hopefully you will miss the many happy days spent at The Wisconsin School for the Deaf. In the past you have depended on the dormitory housepar-ents and teachers for many of your decisions and for sound advice. After graduation day is when you commence to live as adults and make your own decisions. We do hope that you will remember the many things which your teachers and houseparents have taught you so as to become good citizens. We extend to you our very best wishes as you begin a new life, and may God bless you, guide you and keep you. Sincerely, Kenneth F. Huff, Superintendent The Wisconsin School for the Deaf

To the Centennial Class of WSD: Each of you holds in your hand the brush of a painter of LIFE. The large white canvas of Time on the easel is your future. The paints are your thoughts, emotions, and acts. Select and mix these colors of heart, mind and deed with the care of an artist. There will be bold brush strokes of success and achievement. There will be the faint strokes of failure. There will be strong lines of self-discipline, work, and determination. There will be weak lines of selfishness, idleness and mistakes. There will be the lights and shadows of love, gaiety, joy, sorrow, and disappointment. Each moment of your life will be a brush stroke in the painting of your career. In the earners hair brush and in the selection of colors you hold the power to paint a MASTERPIECE.................YOUR LIFE. May the prayers and good wishes of your friends at WSD sustain you in this great task. Your friend, fiuQlytL Sant- Academic Principal As each graduating class approaches commencement, they should feel a sense of pride and accomplishment along with plans and expectations for their future. This year the class of ’71 has the special distinction of participating in the 100th Commencement to be held at W. S. D. The significance of this is that for over one hundred years the W. S. D. staff has devoted their efforts to a program that enables you to take your rightful place in society today. The years ahead appear to be even more promising for you. New occupational fields are continually opening their doors to dev.f persons. With the advent of the new post-secondary training programs ihere is now opportunity available for skill training to meet the requirements for many of these new jobs. In a sense the graduates from the past ninety-nine classes have paved the way for these new programs and employment opportunities. We know you. as graduating seniors, are ready to accept and carry on this responsibility for the graduating classes of the future. Saty bJ- SlackmoA Vocational Coordinator
