Vice-Principal TO THE CLASS OF 1965: We are living in an age of uncertainty. We are beset with internal strife as well as external strife. There is fighting in the streets of America and in the streets of South Viet Nam. We are all part of these conflicts. In addition to this we are on the threshold of the greatest industrial change which the world has ever known, automation. This is the type of world that you are about to enter. Are you prepared? I believe you are. I feel that your years at Case High School have afforded you many opportunities to develop into a complete person, aware of the situations around you and able to cope with them. This im¬ plies that you are a well-rounded student, interested in all facets of life. One cannot be interested in one particular area of life to the exclusion of all others and still be a com¬ plete person. There is a place for each individual activity such as music, sports, and studies. The well- rounded person will have an interest in each, which can be carried over into adult life, making him a complete informed citizen of the United States and of the world. I believe that you are that type of citizen and urge you to exercise all the rights and duties inherent in such a citizenship. My best wishes go with you as you leave Case High School for whatever the future holds in store. Sincerely, Assistant-Principal MR. EDWARD SILVA 10

MARGARET LAHEY English English The English department operates in a dual role as arbiter of grammar and champion of literature. During the earlier years one too often associates English with “who’s” and “whoms” and “split- infinitives”, until a sentence seems not an expres¬ sion of thought or emotion but a string of words that can be broken cfown and neatly diagrammed. Sometime during these four years the student be¬ gins to think of language in its noblest form—lit¬ erature. True literature reveals the realm of man: his nuances of emotion and his place in the uni¬ verse, by appealing to something in the reader deeper than his intellect. It unites one to all man¬ kind—those of three thousand years past and those of three thousand years to come, expanding, in the words of DeQuincey, “man’s latent capacity for sympathy with the infinite.” MARGARET MIRANDA English AUSTIN J.
