PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE “To every man there openeth A Way, and Ways, and a Way, And the High Soul climbs the High Way, And the Low Soul gropes the Low. And in between, on the misty flats The rest drift to and fro. But to every man there openeth A High Way and a Low, And every man decideth The Way his soul shall go.’’ Today we seniors must decide which way the course of the rest of our lives will go. As we stand on the threshold of these ways, we see three gates, all locked. It is up to each one of us to find his own key. All the knowledge gained at the Boston Latin School is the first step along our in- dividual paths. With the encouragement of our faculty, we have struggled for four or six years. Now we are going on to college, taking with us the learning and wisdom we have acquired. In college we shall extend our studies and shall probe deeper into subjects we touched only lightly in high school. After college graduation, we shall be ready to take our places in the world of adults. Our founda- tion, however, was laid in our high school days, for these were the formative and most impressionable years of our lives. We formed sets of values, moral, social, and educational. We were urged never to be satisfied with mediocrity, but with perfection. Now that we are leaving, we must carry these principles and ideals along with us, each to his own destination. We must set the example; we must be the leaders. If we could only look into the future and see what lies ahead for us, we would prob- ably be very proud of our classmates. Some may become famous in the field of technol- ogy or in the art of speaking. Others may enter educational fields or may become pio- neers in research. One thing, however, we must always keep in mind : Whatever our vocations may be, whether they make us in- ternationally famous or known only in our own neighborhoods, what we do reflects not only on our families, but on the Boston Latin School as well. Let us all strive to make both of them just- ly proud of us and let us always remember : “But to every man there openeth a High Way and a Low, And every man decideth The Way his Soul shall go.” Philip T. Chadie I TO THE CLASS OF 1 962
