Superintendent Addresses
Ashland High Students
I am happy to welcome
back to Ashland High all
students for a new year. I
especially want to welcome new
students. I am sure you will
find the young men and women
at Ashland High School friendly
and helpful, and good citizens
in the school and in the com
munity. The great majority of our
students recognize the need for
a good basic education. They
realize, as do their parents, that
a good basic education is an
absolute "must" in today's
world. AHS has a tradition of
good scholarship, and I know
the young people attending
AHS will improve on this great
tradition.
Your principal, teachers, and
I are very interested in helping
you to become outstanding
citizens and to be the good
leaders and followers of our
society in the very near future.
Our hope for a good govern
ment and a good society of
democratic people must be
carried on and strengthened.
Therefore, we look to our
yongest men and women - you
in Ashland High to do this.
We are fond of you because the
great leaders of tomorrow will
come from your age group. Be
cause of this, your education
becomes extremely important
not only to you as an individual
but to the welfare of our
country.
Welcome back to Ashland
High and make full use of its
offerings.
