FAIRHAVEN HIGH SCHOOL OFFICE OF THE PRINCIPAL To the Class of 1954: As you come to the close of your high school course, many of your friends will offer you their congratulations. I want to join these well-wishers. If you have given to your studies the attention they deserve, you have developed some fundamental skills and secured useful information about a variety of subjects. In our country, about one out of every four who are graduated from high school goes on to college. Perhaps you will be one of these. In that case, you will add to your skills and to your knowledge. All this is good, but it is not enough. Your emotions need to be educated as well as your muscles and your brain. The way you “feel” about things will determine to a marked degree what you will do with your skills and knowledge. How do you feel about yourself? Have you set high standards that make you unwilling to stoop to what is lazy, mean, or dishonest? How do you feel about others? Do you desire their welfare and success as you do your own? How do you feel about America? Can you live for America with an enthusiasm that approaches the devotion of those who died for her? Can you see her beauty and strength and do your share to preserve them for your children’s children? Can you see her faults and do something to mend them so that America can continue to be an able and worthy leader among the nations of the world? I look to each member of the Class of 1954 to join the ranks of the industrious, unselfish, patriotic citizens who make America the country it ought to be. Sincerely, Chester M. Downing, Principal
