PRINCIPAL PsEPORTING
Another year has come and
gone. Miat do we have to
show for it? The Seniors
have the culmination of
twelve years of study.
They have reached one of
their important milestones.
Graduation is an important
goal. It is a time for
looking back and taking
stock, but mon important
it is a time for looking
ahead and making plans. To
the Sehiors we extend sin
cere congratulations and
best wishes for the future.
All graduates who have the
ability to take a college
education owe it to them
selves and to their coun
try to put forth every ef
fort to get that education.
It may not be true in all
cases that "where there is
a will, there is a way",
but many students make no
effort to go to college
vdien the financial means
are available* Seniors,
pursue every course at
your disposal before giv
ing up on the idea of at
tending college.
The other classes have
matured and advanced one
year. Nothing keeps us
from getting a yoar older
but ve often keep our
selves from getting a year
■viserc Too many times we
refuse to do the work re
quired in order to make
the normal progress of
^'jhich V73 are capable. Let
urge that all of ns put
our best foot forward and
ourgeon out,,..
To cur teachers go my
ohanks for a job well done.
No s.;hool can accomplish
Its purpose iirithout a ded-
icatud faculty. The Bailey
Schpcl staff is xrell
trai’^ed, it is cooperative
and it is interested in
the welfare of the chil
dren.
The Bailey School patrons
are due a major share of
the credit for the success
of the school program.
Through the P, T, A, and
other activities sponsored
by the school, the parents
lend their support and a
helping hand. We appreci
ate your moral and finan
cial support. If we are to
keep p^cn with the educa
tional needs of our chil
dren, some changes will
have to be made. Keep
these needed changes in
mind, think them through,
and solve them on the
basis of what is good for
the children of our commun
ity rather than on the
prejudicof> of the older
people,
