RALPH S. DEWEY SUPERINTENDENT SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE TO SENIORS DURING THE YEARS which you have Spent in the Cony Public Schools you have been studying the language, life and history of the world; the discoveries that mail ban made in the use of nature's resources; the application of the results of research to human and industrial progress; the problems that have confronted the human race and the skill he has used in meeting them. In addition to this you have had an opportunity to develop your powers of thinking. You have been taught how to attack and solve a problem: how to evaluate and Judge the actions of others as well as your own: to be considerate of the right of others; to understand that there are duties for each individual to face and perform; and that there are certain principles of character that are fundamental for all progress. You are now about to enter a world unsettled in financial, economical and social realms. You will soon have an active part in the solution of many of the problems now facing our people. There is a place for everyone and something for each one to do. It may not be a job at which you work for so many dollars a week but each one has a life to live and living a life in itself, presents many problems. In the words of Phillips Brooks.- To find his place and fill it is success for a man . Sincerely Yours. Ralph S. Dewey
