To the Class of 1957: The still point-always felt but not always fulfilled--a moment of repose when man sees the purpose of his own life in harmony with the purpose of life-life is reconciled with the destiny of man-harmony of man to man and man to his en- vironment-pattern of behavior, of thinking, and of feeling create knowledge and the arts-loss of self because there is no self, only life-a period when we aspire to raise ourselves and every portion of existence affected by our influence to the highest material and spiritual degree of value-a thought which becomes an act, having sprung into us like a spark, lighting a new Hame within us-a moment that may appear and reappear, limited only by the limitations of the individual-hw inility, strong and real. A still point-graduation. A still point-your fulfillment of our faith in you. Sincerely yours, WILLIAM MEENEGHAN, Principal Mr. Meeneghan's four years at Brooklyn Friends have paralleled our four years in high school. We would like to thank him for the help which he has given not only to our class but to the school as a whole.
