Principal Domenic V. Coviello Seniors, you who are the first class graduating from the new Wilby, have had the opportunity of experiencing school life in a new and beautiful complex — the only one in the states. This means that you have gotten the chance of at least one year to work with and use our new facilities. Many people have worked to get this school started: and you as the upper classmen, have shown leadership and set a good example for the other classes. You are a group brought together from all walks of life. You nave been given chances to relate with your classmates by being taught in fields of your interest that will make the transition from school to on-the job training or preparation for college. This new complex should enlighten your knowledge. I am proud to see your group, the first group, to graduate from the New wilby1'. Philip Leonard!
