'59 Principal Mr Haag and two members of
the School Board, Mr. Dawson and Mr. Dietrich. Mr Haag also had a few words for us.
Text in picture follows:
"Though Life
is forever beginning even as it is ending, and seems to go far back into Time, yet is very
real in our own moment of Time and Place. It is just as real at sixteen as at sixty--just as
real within the school as out there in the everyday world except there are different realities.
In the whole of Life, each individual life has its own importance
We must all face Life
and its problems. If we can so prepare ourselves that it always presents a challenge, we'll
find a reward in each day's living. If we can so live that we attain some of its promise, and
some of our dreams, it will remain a challenge.
It is my wish that those who have a part
in making our Columbian, and those who will treasure it as one picture of LIfe, will always
feel that challenge."
