ADMINISTR ATI ON Mr. Alexander A. Mackimmie, Jr. Principal Principals as fine as Mr. Mackimmie are hard to find. To the students of Bul- keley, he has constantly given his utmost attention and consideration. His fair judg¬ ment and sound advice have gained the respect of many. As you open your 1958 MAPLE LEAVES for the first time and glance through its pages, lo oking eagerly for the pictures and accounts of those events which to you repre¬ sent the highlights of your high school career, you will have just finished your Class Night program and will be looking forward to participating in your final appearance as a Bulkeley student at your Graduation Exercises. I am sure that, in the midst of these exciting activities, your initial reaction to your classbook will be a feeling of tre¬ mendous pride that you have been privileged to be a part of Bulkeley High School. It is my hope that throughout your life you will frequently return to the pages of your copy of MAPLE LEAVES and find again this same sense of pride in the accomplishments of your school and in the things for which it stands. I assure you that I am equally proud that I have the privilege of being your principal. I am grateful to your editorial board for giving me this opportunity for a last word to you as members of the school and to extend my good wishes for the future. Your high school days have been eventful and, on the whole, successful ones. This has been particularly true of your busy senior year. You have witnessed and taken part in a number of firsts. You saw sputnik, went to Boston, attended the Fellows Assembly, and were the first senior class to have its academic achievement as a group evalu¬ ated. All of these items brought a uniqueness to your asso¬ ciations with Bulkeley and to the contributions that you have made to your school. Yet they are overshadowed by the influence of the enduring, fundamental values that a Bulkeley education has given you. You have benefited from association with great teachers, from the knowledge gained from a sound curriculum, and from the experience of liv¬ ing together with a large group of typical teenagers. You are a product of a comprehensive high school and as such represent the American dream of educational op¬ portunity for all. As you must be aware, this concept of education is being currently attacked by many people. This places a heavy responsibility on you, for in your hands lies the future course of our secondary education. You will have a large part in determining whether the type of opportunities you have had will continue to be available to all American youth. If your immediate predecessors, you, and the present undergraduates measure up, the future of universal secondary education will be secure. The extent to which you are successful in college, your effectiveness as producers in business and industry, the wholesomeness of the family life in the homes you establish, the enthusi¬ asm with which you participate in community life, the genuineness of your concern for the welfare of your fellow man, your ability to make wise decisions based on evi¬ dence, and your willingness to stand for what is right — these are areas in which the worth of your education will be tested. You are Bulkeley’s representatives. The school’s reputation stands or falls on your works. Finally, I should like to express again, as I have done so frequently during my talks to you, my deep appreciation of your contributions to Bulkeley High School. You have furnished the school with loyal, cooperative leadership. You should understand that your influence is a permanent thing and that something of you becomes forever a part of your school. I should also like to stress the faculty’s and my own continuing, personal interest in each of you. As you become alumni, always bear in mind that Bulkeley is your school and that it stands ready to serve you in any way that it can. I wish you, as I have wished each class I have had the honor of calling mine, Godspeed, confident that you will bring credit to your parents, your teachers, and Bulkeley High School. Alexander A. Mackimmie, Jr., Principal 7
