Another school year has come to a close and with the closing, the members of the Class of 1956 have moved ahead to demonstrate their readiness to find their proper places in life. Our best wishes accompany you as you leave. in many respects, your class has probably been more fortunate than any graduating class that has preceded you. You have grown up in an era of prosperity. This is a period of plenty and of peace. Your educational opportunities have been of the best. You have been favored, yes, even coddled by your elders. Many of us wonder whether you will be able to take adversity when it comes. For come it will. The w'ays of life are not always strewn with roses. Our wish then to you, the Class of 1956, is that you will always be able to look Life squarely in the eye and be masters of your souls and your destinies, let come what may. You have completed what will probably be the best four years of your lives ... if you have used them as you should. We in our turn have tried to equip you for sound citizenship, to give you the foundation on which to build a life of service to others. We hope you have decided on worthwhile goals for the future, and that you will work hard to attain them. The Class of 1956 has shown considerable leadership. A number of you have exerted great effort to make ours a better school. For that we are grateful, and urge that you continue to exercise that leadership as you face the challenges ahead. Do not feel despondent because your high school career is ending. You will find many satisfactions ahead of you, particularly if you strive always for the best. You must not now be grieving For the life that you are leaving You are ready for the life that lies beyond. Live that life, whate'er befall you That, when God himself shall call you You will fearlessly be able to respond. fa. During your stay in Boonton High School, the Guidance Department always stood ready to help you in whatever capacity it was called upon to do. Now you are leaving us to follow a career in the world of work. Many of you have already chosen your life's work; others of you are still undecided; all of you are hoping and planning to be successful. In planning your career, look ahead to what you want to be ten years from now. Choose something you really want to do if you would get enjoyment from it, work hard at it, and life will reward you with much satisfaction. My very best wishes go to each one of you for a bright and successful future. Should you need our services further, feel free to call upon us. [7]
