From Our Principal To the class of 1961: When you entered the halls of Fairhaven High School four years ago. you each brought a bit of our own heritage to the school. This legacy of culture that was yours came to you from many sources, enriched and leavened by the life experiences of those who nurtured you. From the moment of your first breath your growth in its broadest sense, has been conditioned by those things we refer to as traditions. Even as we differ in family, origin and background, so do we differ in our traditions. Meeting, as you did in this school, you shared your heritage and became richer for your sharing. To you all came part of the strength that is Fairhaven High. From the school, with its traditions of beauty and scholarship, mellowed by the fleetly passing years, you drew new wealth to add to your developing store of culture. In turn, you have given part of yourself to the tradition which those who follow will draw upon. The past has served you and you have added to the adornment of the heritage. Yet, were you to become tradition-bound, virtual prisoners of the past, it is likely that you would fail to meet the challenge of the future. You must be ready to experiment to attempt something new and to make your contribution to the realization of the future that, as yet, is hidden in the mists beyond tomorrow’s dawn. Yours is a task to construct and create. The measure of the worth of your creation will be found in the degree to which it adds to our tradition. So, draw your inspiration from the abundance of the past, but never forget that }Ou must be e cr rea for the newness of tomorrow. May you so live that you wall truly mould the future. CHARLES C. ENTWISTLE Principal
