MR. EDWARD T. HALL, A.B., MA HEADMASTER OF THE HILL TO THE CLASS OF 1957: Wlithout lapsing into the frothy, platitudinous prose of convention, it is hard to express in a short space my thoughts and hopes for you of the class ol 1957. No generalized statement would fit any one individual of a highly individualized group. NVhat niight best be said is summed up concisely in Robert Frostis poem i'The Road Not Taken , in which the poet describes the Hnality and inevitability of the choices which must be made by each of us as he begins to fashion his own decisions. Up to this point, through no particular fault of anyone's, most of your choices have been made for you. Beyond this point they become largely yours alone. Nlore than ever, you will every day become a little more definitely, a little more irrevocably, the persons you ultimately will be. Vile hope that your years at The Hill, whether wholly successful or marked here and there with failures and disappointments, will have contributed toward your ability to make decisions. We hope that your intellectual faculties will enable you to distinguish false from true choices. Wle hope that your sense of values has reached a stature sufficient to help you distinguish the morally im- portant from the cynically unimportant. And perhaps most of all we hope that you have fortilied here what you must all have learned at home: a respect and concern for the happiness and welfare of others. As you read these lines years hence tif you dol, let it be remembered that you were once part of a school whose pride in your achievements is no less than its gratitude for your contributions to its own growth. The future, in Shakespeareis phrase, is yours: 7ll1l'7'l' is a tide in the again- of men PVl1.ielz, taken at the flood, leads on to fame and fortune, Neglected, all the voyage of their life lx bound up in .thallozus and in miseries. May yours be the flood tide! EDVVARD T. HALL 6
