T0 THE CLASS 0F 1959 Heartiest congratulations upon the successful com- pletion of your high school course and best wishes for success and happiness to each one of you in the years ahead. Ascende fortiter! NVhen you leave here after Commencement, you individually will go into many different types of activity. Most of you will go to college, and from college and university on to professional life. Many will go directly to work, in oflices and industrial plants of all sorts and varieties. YVhatever you do and wherever you go, your careers will be really successful according to the degree in which you apply the lessons we of the faculty have tried to teach you in your course here: integrity of char- acter, the development of the mind, respect for knowledge and learning, scrupulous honesty in all phases of one's life, hard work and perseverance in effort, cooperation with others, sympathy and understanding in our relationship with others, re- spect for the individual as a person, and devotion to the ideals of democracy. Your worth as an individual will best be measured not by the money you make or the eminence you achieve in whatever your life work is but rather by the degree in which you develop your full potentialities, by what you do with the powers you have within you. . f Our success as teachers is measured by your growth in mind, spirit, and character. So we hope that your lives in the years ahead will be a rich fulfillment of the great promise you have shown here. Your class has won more scholarships, more honors than any other Erasmus Hall class I have known. You have been a fine loyal, hard-working group. May the years ahead be many and full of greater accomplishment and rich satisfactions and happiness. Looking back over a half-century in which I have seen the development of the auto- mobile, the airplane and now jet aircraft, radio, television, electronics and the atomic sciences, one can not even hazard a guess as to what the next half-century - your lifetime - will bring forth. We can be sure that it will be exciting, and we know that each of you will play his proper part in the crucial years ahead if you hold fast to what you have been taught in your homes and in your schools. Our affectionate best wishes go with you. May God bless you all and watch over you in the years ahead. May those years be many and full of all the things your hearts desire. Sincerely yours, f.. -X .

DEAN Austin Dugan, DEAN OF BOYS As no scholastic records were kept in the deans' offices, those who entered were judged as equals and treated as such. The Deans also utilized under- standing and kindness, along with firmness, in hand- ing down their decisions. f l v 1 if 'V f hx Z ru n iilz ' ' x Vffbz . v zz, ' '- ',4L,.yf f Gwwfyglg 4. :fwf- Afy -1 I 55 :ft-'iffflz ,l'74'f'z ,, f-,,.-, ft., , .
