Description:	.J1PrincipalsMessageTo Students, Faculty, and Friends:Once again I would like to expressmy best wishes to all students, faculty and friends of the EllettsvilleSchool system. It has been a realchallenge and a pleasure to workwith you all during this busy schoolyear.To the graduating seniors: I hopethat all of you have, by this time,made worthwhile plans for your lifeand that you will now accept the challenge and take the opportunity towork your plan. I hope that yourlives are full of action, for there isnothing that rusts the soul andsaps the vigors of the mind so muchas inaction. Make your life creed andphilosophy like the one expressed below by Edgar A. Guests poem.Best wishes,MY CREEDEdgar A. GuestTo live as gently as I can;To be, no matter where, a man;To take what comes of good or illAnd cling to faith and honor still;To do my best, and let that standThe record of my brain and hand;And then, should failure come to me,Still work and hope for victory.To have no secret place whereinI stoop unseen to shame or sin;To be the same when Im aloneAs when my every deed is known;To live undaunted, unafraidOf any step that I have made;To be without pretense or showExactly what men think I am.To leave some simple mark behindTo keep my living in mind;If enmity to aught I show,To be an honest, generous foe,To play my little part, nor whineThat greater honors are not mine.This, I believe, is all I needFor my philosophy and creed.
