Superintendent Dear Class of 1969, In October of 1957, when you were in first grade, the Russians astounded the world by putting Sputnik I in orbit. ln December 1968, midterm in your senior year, your country orbited three astronauts in Apollo 8 around the moon, then brought them safely home. These incredible scientific advancements were accomplished during the short span of your basic education. During the same twelve years other history-making events took place. Unfortunately, many of those other recent events illustrate manis lack of respect for his fellowmanis inherent right to democracy's ideal of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. As the moral growth of man should equal his scientific advancement, 1 would, therefore, charge you to use your education to uphold the responsibilities of your heritageg to preserve the privileges of this democratic societyg and to continue the technological successes of this age for the benefit of your fellowman.
