xl f .fl Q DEAR DR. HELMKAMP: It is with strangely mixed emotions that now, after four long and pleasant years, we are preparing to leave the Academy for good. Certainly one of the most widespread and universal of these is a feeling of gratitude to you for the many things you have done on our behalf. Your kind and cooperative leadership, your friendliness and interest have impressed us deeply. For these, and all the other things you have so willingly done for us, we wish to thank you. Sincerely yours, THE CLASS or 1947

To THE NIEMBERS or THE SENIOR CL.-XSS or 1947: Some years ago in a speech before an Academy assembly, State Senator Chauncey B. Hammond used as the theme of his discourse, the legend found on the stub of a railroad ticket: HNot good if detached? Because it impressed me at the time, has stayed with me, and is appropriate to this occasion, I want to pass on the message of the railroad ticket stub to you. As human beings we are social by nature. The church, the school, the home, our clubs, our class associations, our jobs are social in character. Only as we learn to interact with this environment, with moral insight. do we function successfully. If we are anti-social, if we put our selfish, personal interests above the common good, we doom ourselves to ultimate failure, we do not measure up to the best that is in us, we are Knot good if detachedf' That which is true on the personal and individual level applies also to us as a people and a nation. The world has become increasingly a single social entity. What happens in New York has repercussions in India and China, what happens in Moscow may vitally affect your life and mine. As a nation, we have a responsibility to see that the lamp of liberty is not dimmed. Unless all men everywhere learn to enjoy the freedoms that are basic to our culture, they will not long endure for us. In that task, too, America is Hnot good if detached. Here in school, you have been led to recognize the importance of these individual and national responsibilities. You have learned, Qsome through hard experiencej that we do not live to ourselves alone, that in everyday living we are 'cnot good if detachedf' May these basic lessons in democratic living go with you through life, may you grow in wisdom and in the stature of your moral outlooks as good American citizens. Sincerely yours, 1 ' 0
