I'm sure All agree, High School, memories are cherished and can be a blessing upon our minds and hearts. Yes, reflecting on the more important things and the pleasant times we spent with friends and with loved Ones, can warm our heart and minds! May they continue to smile upon them forever...SHS Class of 67. Classmates, having learned of the reality of the more important things through the years. Please be reminded. mainly from our exemplar, Christ Jesus, who showed us “the way” to approach God acceptably. (John 14:6) He, warmly reassures us that we too can succeed in pleasing God despite trials and opposition. and that we too have reason to “take courage,” or “take heart.”—, Saying, "Take Courage! I have conquered the world"... Jesus, concluded with the words of John 16:33... to encourage and to reassure! "Us". - Jesus’ words and example can likewise encourage "Us" today. He also reassures in saying "Take Courage" at Matthew 9: 2...; Matthew 9: 22...; Matthew 14: 27...; Acts 23: 11; John 6: 31-51." *Note also: (*John 14: 30; 1 John 4: 4; 1 John 5: 4; Job 33: 24,25; Haggai 2: 7; John 17:3) ...YES! ...

Jehovah’s promise: “I will never leave you, and I will never abandon you.” So we can say with confidence: “Jehovah is my helper; I will not be afraid.” (Heb. 13:5, 6) Many years have passed, 57 years! since our memorable graduation 1967... yet not much time in comparison to " The Good News!" … Kingdom Rule and its promise of everlasting life, free from these critical times (2Timothy 3: 1-5) …and the woes of present times!
