Nor shall I call attention to the fact that ,graduation exercises are the cere- monies which close twelve years of education as prescribed by your School Board. This final year at Dedham High School has a deeper meaning than that. Its key is the word, 'geducationfi When we think of education, we should think first of the student learning, and not of the school or of the teacher. The major purpose of our school, the materials, and the teachers is to encourage and to motivate each student in his learning. Whatever can be done to stimulate learning belongs in this school and anything which obstruets individual learning does not belong in this school. I'Iowcvcr, this learning or education does not stop upon graduation: it is a life process. The experiences which you undergo, the experiences which you make a part of you, make you a different person from your classmate, and truly educate you. Education, then, is a process that goes on for the remainder of your lives. Dedham High School, its personnel, its faculty wish for you future experience that will bring you happiness throughout your life.
