Mr. Bounds' Message To The Seniors
Seniors, your have now finishing an important period of your experience, you are entering a new phase of your life. Infancy, childhood, and adolescence have passed. Sooner or later all of us have to make decisions. Some of you will soon need to decide what the next stretch of the road is to be. For some it will be college or other type of specialized training for others it will likely be some kind of employment.
If you go to College, be sure you know why you want to go and where you want to go, and adopt this simple formula when you get there.
Be where you are supposed to be at the time you are supposed to be there, fully prepared to do what you are supposed to be doing.
Whether in college or at other work; concentrate on your own development of your mental, physical and spiritual resources.
Remember that while you are preparing for something you are becoming something. While you are preparing for life, you are also living a life and that life ought to be just as rich and full of the right kind of experiences as you can possibly make it.
We shall continue to be interested in you after graduation to listen to your telecast from Station Y. O. U.
Clyde E. Bounds

Mr. Cassler's Message
WHAT WILL IT BE?
Will it be your best or your second best? There is within each individual the urge, push or desire to do your best. The realization of of our ideals or having our heart's desire comes from this mental attitude of desiring what we are headed toward. A man will remain a street cleaner as long as he has only the vision of a street cleaner. All work is honorable but do not be satisfied unless you are doing your best. It is the urge, the push within us, which continually prodding us to do our best and refuses to accept our second best. You are expected always to do your best. It will require effort on your part but it will be worth it. Applying yourself and refusing to accept second best will bring a brighter and richer tomorrow.
E. B. Cassler

FAREWELL, FAREWELL
On April 17th, we seniors leave one phase of our life behind us and embark on a new one. There are many things to look forward to, but first we must say farewell to the pwst. Let us never forget all the wonderful discoveries we made in the past years
Do you remember the beginning of our school years - first grade, our first history lesson? - The sixth grade and the end of our elementary schooling?
I know you won't forget junior high and our new feeling of sophistication. Then came our freshman year and our final acceptance into the high school crowd. Now, as seniors we go on our way to higher schools of life and education.
Farewell to our teachers, Mr. Cassler, our school, and of course, the under classmen. Farewell and God go with you. |

WELCOME, SHADE
For the first time in the history of the two schools, Windber and Shade Township held their proms together, not by any previous arrangement, but by sheer accident.
On May 7 Shade held their annual Prom, but through some mistake the orchestra failed to show up. When he learned of our neighbors' plight, Mr. Cassler called Shade and invited the students there to come to our Prom.
The Windber students were glad to welcome the boys and girls from Shade and everyone agrees that they were perfect guests.
