VICE PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE To all of you who are graduating — congratulations. This event marks the culmination of twelve years of education. It is also a singu- lar achievement since few people ever graduate from high school more than once. For you and your parents it is a moment of which you can be proud. As young people, you have had an extensive period of prepara- tion in order to deal successfully with the many challenges that are shortly to present themselves as part of everyday living. The road to maturity is beset with problems. We hope that your education will help you grow up, maturing mentally, socially and morally. Keeping in mind that the period of youth is one of impatience and of adjustment to the world, we believe that you are now ready for the freedom and responsibility of adult life. Truly educated young men and women must not only be able to make a living, but must also be ready, willing, and able to assume the responsibilities that are inherent to a democratic society. Everyone demands more free- dom, but few demand more responsibilities. In a democracy you can not have one without the other. Each generation has its problems and must face its destiny with conviction and fortitude. Yours can do no less. At Fitch Senior High we have hope and confidence in you. Good luck . . . — - Louis Caouette Seniors: My congratulations to the graduates of 1970 for having reached the goal for which you have been striving for the past three years. I hope that as you leave Fitch Senior that it will be with a feeling of pride in the school and with fond remembrances of the many pleasant experiences that you have had here and of the friendships you have made here. The faculty and administration appreciate your many contri- butions to the morale of the school, your willingness to work harmoniously with teachers and fellow students, and the lead- ership which you have taken in school activities. It will be diffi- cult for us to forget the scholastic success of the class as well as the outstanding contributions which your members have made to athletics and other extra-curricular activities. Although this is my first year in the capacity of vice principal, I, personally have had many pleasant memories of this past year. Continued success in all your endeavors in the future. 20 Robert T. Laing Vice Principal
