PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE Students are sometimes puzzled because after twelve long years of study they have commencement exercises-since com- mencement means the beginning! Today, a high school education can truly be said to be only a beginning-the beginning of preparation to a more advanced educational training. Once a high school diploma was ample to earn a liveli- hood for a great number of people. But times are changing -with the advent of automation and the electronic age even a college diploma has become commonplace and not a guar- antee to success. Specialization is the key to the future in all fields of en- deavor. Therefore, at commencement each of you must have set your eyes on educational and career, goals which lie be- yond high school if you are to be successful in a fast chang- ing world. Know your goal and then make your plans on how you will achieve it. This will be your commencement on the road to success. H. W. WARD ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL S MESSAGE lt is always difficult to put into words any thoughts that might, in some small way, benefit graduating Seniors. How- ever, I hope that you give some consideration to the follow- ing: as you face the problems which we all meet in life, you will come upon two possible methods of solution. You may be swayed too much by your emotions, lose your temper, and attempt to use force or to evade the issue. This course will only result in frustration and unhappiness. lf, on the other hand, you face your difficulties with obiectivity, and analyze them carefully, you will find real satisfaction in over- coming these obstacles. ' It is easy to be gracious and charming as long as all goes smoothly, but it is the difficulties and the manner in which you overcome them that will reveal your true personality. We hope that what you have learned in the public schools of Foxboro will help you to achieve a better life. JOHN J. AHERN

SUPERINTENDENTS MESSAGE There is much in the world for you as seniors to look for- ward to with great optimism. Probably the greatest source of optimism is the freeing of nations that for many years have been under the domination of stronger nations, or the freeing of the masses in countries where a dominate ruling class has held them in serfdom. This is a long slow process and has been going on for many years. More recently the movement has seemed to accelerate. This is good. At the same time there is the danger that some of the new nations or released people may fall under the influence of others who in the guise of helping actually do much harm. It would seem to be our responsibility as educated, think- ing citizens to be aware of the good things that are happen- ing and also of the bad things that can happen and exert ourselves toward peace and freedom for all nations and all people. THE SCHOOL COMMITEE Mrs. Raymond Heffron, Nlr. Allan Catheron, Mr. Charles Taylor, Mr. Gerard Kennedy, Chairman, Mr. J. Loyd Hayden, Mrs. Lawrence Powers.
