PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Graduation speakers and school officials have pointed out from time immemorial that high school graduation marks the completion of one phase of a student’s life and the commencement of another. It represents the ending of either his preparatory or formal education and his entry into the new oppor¬ tunities and experiences of the adult world. Since I am sure that all of you recognize the importance of these two aspects of your graduation, I need not dwell on them. I should like, rather, to emphasize another thought in connection with the ending of your high school course, namely, the lasting influence of your school experience. While you are terminating your actual physical connection with the institution, you will con¬ tinue in one way or another to bear the stamp of Bulkeley High School — its teachers, its classrooms, its activities, and its traditions. All of you have prof¬ ited immeasurably from your high school years. You have gained, in varying degrees, an understanding of your cultural heritage; you have acquired some mar¬ ketable skills; you have learned to work with your fellow students and your teachers; you have been taught the importance of a sense of responsibility and have known the satisfactions of unselfish loyalty. All these experiences have become an integral part of you. As a result, your outlook on life will have a certain uniqueness because it has been your privilege to attend Bulkeley. Just as the school has left its mark on you, so, too, have you left your imprint on the, school. Your leadership and initiative have strengthened many areas of school life. Something of you will be left behind to become a permanent part ■ of Bulkeley. The Class of 1952, as my first senior class at Bulke¬ ley High School, will always have a special place in my affections. Your cooperation and fine school spirit have been instrumental in making this year an enjoy¬ able and worthwhile one for me. It has been a pleasure to work with those of you with whom I have had direct contacts. My only regret is that I have not been associated with you for a long enough period to en¬ able me to know personally every member of the class. I do want to thank you for the courtesy and consideration that you have extended to me and to express my appreciation of your friendliness and help¬ fulness. In saying farewell, I should like to stress the con¬ tinuing interest of the faculty in each of you. We shall follow your careers, taking pride in your suc¬ cesses and sympathizing with you in your failures. As you become alumni, always bear in mind tjiat Bulkeley is still your school and that it stands ready to serve you in any way that it can. I wish you God¬ speed, confident that you will bring credit to your parents, your teachers, and to Bulkeley High School.
