His untimely death did not weaken, but strength­ en, our choice. Penfield has passed its time of disbelief and despair and sorr.ow. Now, through the clouds we still have the spirit of an unforgettable man who was loved by all, especially his band. administration The Light Of- Knowledge??? Throughout man's history those civilizations which placed emphasis upon the education of their people are those which have flourished most. If the modern world is to conquer such bitter enemies of mankind as hunger, disease, and wars, the enlight­ enment of all peoples by means of equal educational opportunities must become a reality. I hope each of you will pledge your support, however insignificant, in the fight for equal educational oppor­ tunities both here and abroad.

This word has so many mean· ings and applies to so many things necessary for life that it becomes part of our very existence. To the believer "in Him was life, and the life was the light of men." To the informed public it is the bringing of all things to light-- To the playwright who writes comedy it becomes light-hearted. To the baker well-leavened bread becomes light. To the builder transparent glass allows light to enter through panes. To the scientist light is radiant energy which by its action upon the organs of vision allows us to see and enjoy our environment. To the astronomer the fact that the earth rotates about the sun causing daylight and darkness is essential to his occupation. To the space agency the fact that light travels 186,000 miles per second becomes basic to their research and development of space crafts and communications. To the agronomist soil may be light and unproductive. For our pleasure the T-V tube converts light rays into electrical waves and then converts them back to visible light rays. To the educated man knowledge sheds light upon many subjects and thus increases his understandings. We hope that your years in Penfield High School have been profitable. We hope that your teachers have guided you well in seeing the light of knowledge as opposed to the darkness of ignorance. The beacon light has been lighted for you throughout the years to come. Pursue its rays in depths of your interests and potential. Only then will you enjoy completely the light of life. Principal 7 To the Class of 1968: At the particular time that I have been asked to write this, the "theme of light" suggests to me only the name of Bill Bradley, for it is now five days after ­ the untimely death of Bill, whom I have known as a fellow teacher and friend. If there were ever a human light to guide fellowmen , it was he, and I wish for all of you the fortune to be as successful as he was-especially in his teaching and dealings with the faculty and the students. Bill Bradley will be surely missed by all of us, and I am sure that if he knows how much ·he has influenced you and me for the short time he was on earth he is saying to someone, somewhere, " Hey, how about that."
