PRINCIPAL — ALDRICH V. COUSINS pS] y @ ai V. COUSINS ae — os oper 1969-1970 PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE One hundred years ago five proud young women became the first graduating class of Leominster High School. Through the years countless numbers have followed that same path in quest of knowledge. The school location has changed several times. The curriculum has changed to meet the demands of the times. The number graduating each year has continued to grow. One thing does not change and that is our responsibility, our sincere desire to see that you are adequately prepared to face the next challenge after high school. The greatest advances known to man since the beginning of time have been achieved in all areas during the last one hundred years. As your school enters its second century let us hope that we have learned our past lessons well so that we can proceed with wisdom and tolerance. To the members of the class of 1970, the century class, my congratulations and best wishes.

VICE PRINCIPAL — JOHN F. JOYCE It is with particular respect and affection that | salute the Class of 1970, the !00th class to be graduated from Leominster High School and the worthy representative of the significant milestone in a long tradition. Two years ago when | was serving as Acting Principal, | learned to respect your integrity, your maturity, your reasoned convictions, and your loyal- ty. You helped so much to make my tenure in the front office a rewarding and happy experience that | am everlastingly gratetul. During your junior and senior years | have ad- mired in you that normal youthtul disclination to conform blindly and passively to tradition, and | have applauded the offsetting dynamic tendency you have had toward constructive change and im- provement based on solid values. Your thinking, your activity have been positive, rooted in good common sense, and appropriately unconventional. Keep on asking questions, helping to find answers, issuing the challenges, generating that enthusiasm that is so characteristic of your Class and your generation. My fondest wishes attend you always wherever the myriad paths of life may lead you.
