Through the years Maine Township high schools have enjoyed a reputation of educational excellence. The class of '62 has proved to be one of the most outstanding in this respect. Almost three quarters of the class have decided to further their education.

"To travel hopefully is better than to arrive," and these graduates are traveling hopefully in search of further education. It is not grades that will be of prime importance in the future but how much is learned. What counts right now is not final grades at the end of four or five years of schooling but how much knowledge and maturity is possessed at the end of this period of time. It is not how education terminates that is of vital importance but how it is improved along the rough way ahead.

As indicated below, the graduates' search for further training in their chosen fields will take them to all parts of the country in the next four years.

We of the Westerner staff wish these students success in the coming years.
