To the Graduating Class of i969 Dear Girls and Boys: A prism is a transparent, optical instrument, usually of glass, triangular in shape, having two refracting surfaces, and making an angle with one another. When sunlight passes through the prism, the rays of light so retracted produce the beautiful band of rainbow colors called the solar spectrum. - The rainbow itself presents a panoramic view of the spectrum when the sunlight is broken up into spectral bands of color by drops of rain in the sky, which act as tiny prisms. The spectroscope is a sophisticated form of prism and is widely used in science and in Industry for determining the purity of metals, for identify- ing the composition of unknown obiects, for conducting research into outer space. Perhaps it would be fruitful to view life itself as a prism, breaking up the rays of the sun from Infra-red to ultra-violet, determining purity, identifying the unknown, proiecting our visions and ideas beyond the tangible and the material. lt is my hope and prayer that the prism of life will diffuse the sunshine into brilliant, radiant colors for each of you, and that athwart the inevitable defeats and tragedies that must afflict all of us at times, there will always arch the rain- bow of God's eternal promise. I commend to your thought on this graduation day the words of the poet: High is our calling, Friend- Creative Art fWhether the instrument of words she use, Or pencil pregnant with ethereal huesl Demands the service ofa mind and heart Though sensitive, yet, in their weakest part Heroically fashloned. Your friend and principal, Jacob Howard Raphael June 23, l969.
