To the 1965 Graduate: To graduate from high school is a worthy accom- plishment, providing you have taken full advantage of the many opportunities which were available. I want to extend my congratulations to each of you for this achievement and wish you success in all your future pursuits. You face a most challenging and exciting future. The need for additional education is essential for every person who desires to accept responsibility. Some stu- dents will have the privilege of continuing their educa- tion in a college, university, or the likes. Others will need to begin immediately to learn by self-directed means. The resources for learning are more numerous than at any previous time and will continue to enlarge. Take advantage of the many printed materials, people who have ideas which they will share, and your own observations and experiences as you live one day at a time. Make a determined effort to be a never-ending learner. Only through some form of continued educa- tion will you gain personal satisfaction and be able to assume responsible citizenship. C.

To the Class of 1965: Many places today we read that the experts have called to our attention the tremendous rate at which knowledge is accumulating. One estimate considers that knowledge has doubled four times since 1 A.D. — by 1750, 1900, and 1960. It is further estimated that it will double again by 1965 or soon thereafter. I have no desire to attempt to verify these figures and I don ' t vouch for their accuracy. Suffice it to say that mere momentary reflection will convince anyone that the figures certainly approach accuracy. You who are about to be graduated from high school must have become aware of this phenomenon. Perhaps this is one reason that you have had the fore- sight and good judgment to carry through to gradua- tion. For this you are to be commended. If you really gave all you had to dedicated study toward acquiring as much knowledge as possible you are to be doubly commended. The highest accolade, however, must go to those who realize that learning must never cease. Read again the estimate of the accumulation of knowl- edge and then estimate how fast you must run just to stand still; how hard it will be just to keep up with this accumulation. Our stake in your future bears a direct relationship to your commitment to a continuing program of educa- tion. At Baldwin you laid a foundation upon which you should be able to build a sound future as a good citizen in the fullest meaning of the term. Neither you nor your teachers can take any credit or comfort until this has been achieved. W. Robert Paynter Superintendent of Schools Dr. W. Robert Paynter Superintendent of Schools Dr. Warren D.
