Supervising Principal Members of the Graduating Class of 1959, As you take your place in the busy life of tomorrow’s world, your potentiality cannot be estimated. If the training, the knowledge, and various abilities of your class and those graduating from our high schools each year could be confined within the territory of the Tussey Mountain Joint Schools for the rest of your lives, the contribution you could make to the progress of this community would be without limit. I must remind you that there will be a difference between your latent ability and your achievement in life. To make your great potentialities become achievements you must work. You did not enter the Tussey Mountain Joint Schools and do twelve years of work, so that you could go through life in a leisurely manner. Society's pur- pose in giving you an education was to teach you how to w'ork more effectively. 1 hope that you have achieved this goal. Ralph Waldo Emerson, the great American poet and philosopher, said. “Labor is God’s education. He only is a sincere learner; he only becomes a master who learns the secret of labor.” It does not matter whether you go to college, whether you enter business, or what you select for a career, it is the amount of work you do that will determine your success.

BOARD OF EDUCATION Robert Davis. Irvin Croft. Harry Theys, John J. Gannon, James E. Parks Dear Seniors, It was once said that “Habit is a cable: we weave a thread of it every' day, and at last we cannot break it.” One of our greatest hopes that we hold for you is that your “cables of habits,” woven into your school life, are the kind that will prepare you well for the future. It is our wish that the knowledge which you have gained from your studies, activities, and friends shall make you strong in the life ahead — a life that demands personal responsibilities to home, community, and country. Success will be yours if your “cables of habits” are sturdy enough to meet these responsibilities. Harry Theys President F.i hl

Principal Dear Seniors, Tolerance is one of the ingredients of a well-rounded personality. I hope in your short stay at Robertsdale High School your instruction and thoughts have been siphoned into the “channel of tolerance”. Love of your fellowman is an attribute that must become world-wide if man is ever to rise above the mad clashes of barbaric warfare. There is so much bigotry in the world today. Yes, in our beloved country we have not as a nation been able to impregnate all of our fine citizens with the thought of a just toleration. I’m sure this day must come, and it must be soon, or we will once again be enthralled in a clash which could pit brother against brother. It is your generation that will be forced to take this challenge for toleration and carry it forward into One People. Good Luck and Best Wishes for a successful life. O. W. Troy Principal Ten
