President’s Message This (lay is an important one in our lives for several I’easons. First, it marks the end of a long period of training at the Latin School, during which our faculty has attempted to instill in us, not only the fundamentals of knowledge, but a sense of values as well. Secondly, it marks the end of a comparatively-sheltered life, and begins one which is not so easy. Before this time, any signs of maturity in us were admired; now they are expected. We cannot hope to compete in the bristling whirlpool of business today unless we are ready to accejit our positions as responsible adults. If this year has not already separated the men from the boys, the ensuing years will. We are graduating into a rapidly-advancing age, where new techno- logical developments today may be obsolete tomorrow. We are faced with exciting prospects, among them the knowledge that we will be contribut- ing to these changes and enriching our own lives at the same time. And yet, we must not be overly desirous of material gain. Financial success is, of course, desirable; but when we allow it to corrupt our spiritual and moral values, it destroys the balance which guides our lives. Our years at Latin School have taught us many things. They have showed us that we can attain something if we are willing to work for it. Also, they have showed us the spirit of brotherhood which should be with us always. When we look back upon these years, we will remember reverently the memjbers of the Faculty, who gave of themselves so willingly that we might learn, our Headmaster, Mr. Doyle, and our advisor, Mr. Dunn, always a loyal and true friend. Tomorrow is a new day, with new problems. Let us pray that we, the Class of 1957, will face these problems with courage and faith, and thus carry on the ancient traditions of the Latin School.
