BOARD OF EDUCATION To the Class of 1980: Congratulations — as a graduating Senior, you should feel a sense of pride regarding your accomplishments both as a class and as an individual. As you prepare now to go on to other endeavors, I hope you will stop and reflect for a moment as to what your education has meant to you. Your diploma is a key” — it can open many doors in terms of future education and occupations. But it can also help to make you a better per- son and a better citizen. That is important not only to you, but to your family and country. Education should more than open doors — it should open minds. Thomas Jefferson described democracy as A marketplace of ideas.” That marketplace will be quite barren if those ideas are of an inferior nature. Best of luck in the future, and be sure to take full advantage of your education in such a way that it will benefit not only yourself but others. Bruce R Sharpe Warren E. Jerome Superintendent of Schools Board of Education: Seated — Brian Barnes. Mary Ann Mes- singer. Sandra Button. Barbara Martin. Standing — Michael Schmidt, Richard DeVaul, Wil- liam O. Winans, G. James Traub, Elio Mariani.

ADMINISTRATION AND To the Class of 1980: I have enjoyed my association with you over the past five years. These have been years in which we have tried to improve our aca- demic offerings and to provide a better education for each of you. You are the first class to graduate under these more difficult requirements. You should be proud. This is only the beginning of what can be a rewarding and gratifying life for each of you. Your future success should not be measured in dollars earned or titles gained, but in your real value as a person. I wish each of you the very best and hope that your future years are rewarding. C '(ct rfc6cO C Harold W. Talbot, Jr. High School Principal To the Class of 1980: It has been my pleasure for the past few years to watch your class grow in spirit, dedication and special abilities.
