Supervising Principal Members of the Class of 1955: You are graduating during a period of uncertainty. We are none of us sure of what the future holds for the boy or girl completing his or her high school life in this present day. However, you have made an important step in future success — that of com- pleting something which you have started — your high school career. You can be very sure of its importance and value to you. High school graduation opens many doors: direct entrance into a vocation, college entrance, trade school, or apprenticeship. Whatever door you select, enter with confidence and pursue it with the spirit and devotion that are characteristic of the Robertsdale tradition. You can be very certain of another thing, namely, the good wishes and con- tinued sympathetic interest of the Robertsdale High School faculty. May success attend your every effort. Sincerely, Harvey A. Davis Supervising principal There is no knowledge that is not valuable. —Burke

Principal Dear Seniors, Today I would like to interview each of you. I know this is impossible. Sometime you are going to sit down and leaf through these pages and reminisce. I would like to leave with you three thoughts, anyone of which you and I could spend a whole period talking about. In this world of turmoil and confusion, you and I need signs along this road of life, which will direct us to our destination; and these signs should not be detours. First, face your problems. Since you started school, your problems have steadily increased in number and complexity. You have met these problems with mixed emotions. Now you, as a mature individual, must face your problems as an adult. Don't play hookey in life. Second, don't worry. Fear is the greatest enemy of man. We. as humans, are fearing daily many things that will never happen. We need to replace this fear with my third point, THINK POSITIVE. Think demands the use of our brains, the power plant of our whole being. The use we make of our brains determines where we go. You are now leaving the filling station. You have the road map of life. Where will you be out there in the future? Your hand is on the throttle. Your chioce of the fuels which you have stored in your reserve tank will determine where and how far you will go. I hope your choice is good. That qood in the same meaning of the word as Plato used when he spoke of the — Good Life. Success can not be measured in dollars. If you have lived the Good Life, if you have faced your problems, if you have replaced worry with positive thinking, you are happy, and you are successful. Ward S. Taylor Principal The secret of happiness is not in doing what you like, but in liking what you have to do. —Barrie
