To the lass of 1953: i As each of you leaves Berkshire to pursue a different course of higher studies, I think it proper to remind you that, although you have come to the end of your secondary school training, you have reached this point with varying degrees of skill and knowledge, of balance and maturity. The step on which you pause momentarily is wide enough to include boys with great potential abilities and those with lessg boys with high purpose and the will to achieve, and those content to remain on this step. Your future individual achievements will range from that of successful pro- fessional people, executives, and scientists down to that of ordinary wage earners in routine jobs that merely provide a living. Your final total contribution to your family, your community, and .yourself will be the product of your abilities, your energies, and your will to contribute. You have in the evidence of your preparatory school years a kind of general pattern or measure by which this future contribution might be roughly approximated. If you have put your best abilities and energies into these last few years, you have a model and a standard on which to build and to pattern your career, if you have made mistakes they are yours to examine and yours is the obligation to learn from these mistakes. The faculty joins me in wishing you every success that you will earn. We shall watch your progress with interest and with pride. John F. Godman
