Number one, and most important to you, is your graduation from Dwight School. Number two, it marked the beginning of the race between the great powers for control of outer space, with the advent of the Sputnik, Moonnik, and our own Atlas and jupiter missiles. Third, and most important to your graduates, was the birth of another phenomenon known as Beatniks, variously described as a generation of individuals beaten by the society in which we live. , All of us at Dwight, who have been concerned with your prepa- ration for college, sincerely hope that we have given you the strength and stamina to compete successfully with the conditions you will meet. We are certain that Beatniks are quitters, who will not survive because of a lack of self-discipline. Your own success will inspire you to keep up your courage, spirit and determination to succeed. 1 X, ,. . 1 J' lf? ' 1Jf:If'.'...,.. -.. 1 . .WW

Your Camera Loosen Up! Don't iBe So Bashful By MABEL SCACHERI. People are strange creatures. Shutterbugs are especially fstrange, and sometimes I think the junior grade fans are the hardest of all to understand. One thing sure does puzzle me, jand that is to learn how surprised you younger shuttertrlp- lpers are when you find that I take an interest in your own 'personal exploits with your cameras. Take the case of a high school senior whose photo-' graphic skill I commented on recently in a Friday column, Did I find out about him be- cause he wrote to me? No, I - got the tip from somebody lelse. But young Edward evi- ldently received quite a charge when he read the column, and! I got a very nice appreciative! ?1etter from him. 1 i Now he tells me that the only photographic book he ever read or owned was that Sca- cheri job, The Fun of Photog- ,raphy, now out of print. He :wants to show me the high school year book for which he ,is shooting pictures, when it comes out. Of course I'll be interested in seeing his work in this hook.
