Principal Blanche Ely's message to her 1958 graduates:

In this age of Sputniks and Atomic missiles, modern and beautiful buildings are necessary for an institution to perform well its functions, but the most important test of a good school is to be seen in the quality of its students and the achievements of its graduates. As I greet you, the Class of 1958, it is my hope that as you leave this institution, you will not forget the high ideals that we have striven to instill in you here at Blanche Ely High Schools.

It is my hope that you will further your education and develop your talent and be useful Citizens in the world.

May God bless and keep you.
