.-M l i Y . s From the day I first met the student body I was most curious about the character and per- sonality of the Senior Class of 1958. As a new- comer to the august Carteret family I would be able to gauge the type of work done at Carteret School towards educating the youth of our great country. It is true, as has often been said, that the wealth of a nation lies not in her natural re- sources-they may be quickly dissipated by wan- ton and heedless extravagance, nor in her man- power, since these awful days of Sputniks , Ex- plorers , and fiery hydrogen bombs soon make a ioke of any kind of power. One cataclysmic bomb can destroy a city of five million inhabitants. Think of it! Nor does the wealth of a nation's factories and her industries Chowever highly technicali represent the true wealth of a country. These too can suffer from the same handicap- being subject to irreparable waste through indif- ferent management and careless conservation. Harvests, natural resources, mineral deposits- these likewise can scarcely represent national wealth. Rather does true and genuine wealth lie in the sterling character of a nation's people. And this wealth is the result of her educational system- whether the young have been taught real de- mocracy, getting along with others, how to think, to plan, to dare, to live. These are the factors which make up the charqcter of our youth-a nation's invaluable human crop. Youth is the most important crop we have. To youth we trust the future. Hence education is our prime concern. Yes, the wealth of a nation lies in her strong crop of youth. The above task made my iob as Headmaster at Carteret of vital significance to me. I have therefore watched this senior class as being rep- resentative of the formative infiuences at work here on the hill. Yes, I have ranted at you, I have pleaded with you, I have persuaded you, I have been stern with you. I have tried to be under- standing. As this year draws to an end, I can truthfully say that I have appreciated the kind of work that is being done for boys at Carteret-iust by ob- serving you, and I am content. Hail and farewell, Class of 1958. My thoughts will follow you through the years. Good luck and Godspeed! eniors
