As you approach graduation you are finishing a four year segment of your life. In future years as you look back on this period of time, you will recall many memories, some wonderful and exciting, and possibly some you would prefer to forget. However, now is the time to look ahead - not back. Recall past mistakes only to resolve that they will not be repeated. For some of you, this will be the end of your formal education. For others, many years of college and technical training may be ahead. But for all, may you build your life on the foundation you have begun, and may it be a life of service to others. Please accept my personal wishes for a happy and successful career for each of you in your chosen field of endeavor. John Shaw Principal |

What are teachers? They are the people we saw almost everyday this past year. They are the people who we thought were tyrants one moments and our best friends the next. We saw them drinking coffee in the teachers' lounge and thought, "Boy, the privileges of a few!" However, a teachers' life as not as easy as it seemed. To them, it meant checking in at 7:30 in the morning to devote the day to leading a helping hand to any student in need. They provided us with knowledge of the past and strove constantly to prepare us for a successful future. Many hours were spent in the evenings preparing assignments, grading papers, and sponsoring extracurricular activities. it was our teachers who helped us decorate for the Prom, sponsored our parties, and sold tickets at sporting events. Their hardest chore seemed to have been putting up with the antics of their students. On occasion we were restrained from acvitivies which to them must have seemed unnecessary. But frequently many a student would confer with his teacher as a close friend to acquire confidential advice. |
