A MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OE 1961 EROM ITS PRESIDENT “And so my fellow-Americans : ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.” These are the words of President Kennedy in his inaugural address, stating the philosophy of life we should main- tain. They apply to us at Latin School no less than to the other peoples of this nation. If we are to follow his advice we must not be content to permit others to assume our burdens. We must take an active part in matters affecting us and the nation so that our contribution may be no slight one. As we leave Latin School, we take with us not only a superb preparation for college, but also the wisdom and counsel afforded us by our teach- ers, who, in addition to the classics and sciences, have endeavored to develop in us a sound and worthwhile character. We are grateful then to these men for their part in our preparation for future life. As we leave we are also filled with some un- spoken feelings of regret which come perhaps from the realization that we are maturing and must face the responsibilities that accompany maturity. Or perhaps we are apprehensive at the thought of entering upon something new and dif- ferent. Then, of course, it may come from break- ing the ties of friendship which have united us over the past years. We have labored together and this struggle has united us in genuine bonds of friendship. We are now faced with the prob- lem of weakening, and in some cases severing completely, these relations. If we go on, however, knowing that new friendships are part of our destiny, it will lessen this sadness at losing touch with our former associates. At Latin School we have acquired some of the fundamentals that may lead to success. We must continue to cultivate these habits in the years to follow. It will be wonderful indeed if in our old age we are able to look in retrospect upon these, our youthful years, and say truthfully that we utilized, to the utmost, all the capabilities with which we have been endowed, and that in so doing we were able to respond to President Kennedy’s plea, beseeching us to take an active part in the further development of America.
