PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE CLASS OF ' 59 We, the Class of 1959, are most grateful to the faculty for the interest that has been shown in us at in our work during our school years in Framingham High School, old and new. As graduation approaches, many of us look back . . . remembering our experiences in high school. These are indeed fond memories and ones that we will not soon forget. With all the facilities of a new school, these have been numerous opportunities for us to participate in extracurricular activities. These have afforded us the chance to learn new things and to make many friends with similar interests. And now it is up to us to show our teachers, parents, and friends that our high school education can pay dividends when properly put to use. We are willing, ready, and able. ■ ■

The pleasure in belonging, in being part of a group, is basic to the concepts of A merican Democracy. II I I — n t - I I L J In Framingham High School each student is an important part of the school, regardless of race, creed, or economic and social background. Members of the excellent Class of 1959 realize that this is true, and the high quality of their records shows that they have all worked together toward achievements in the classrooms, on the athletic field, and in all types of extracurricular activities. If all young people of the world had similar opportunities, there would be much less misunderstanding throughout this world. Seniors are faced with the important tasks of taking over the many positions of responsibility from II I [ I a 8 f ] y . i members of the preceding class. At first, this appears to be an impossible task because of lack of per- sonal experiences. However, the class has undertaken those responsibilities, and its achievements, of an extremely high order, have brought much credit to the class and to the school. { | Graduation is not the end; in many respects, it is the beginning. There are many new experiences and opportunities ahead, not only for personal improvement and advancement, but also for service and assist- ance in the complex pattern of community life. As members of the class join the ranks of the many thous- ands of Framingham High School graduates and thereby become alumni of the school, may they continue to have the same ideals of service for others which have been shown in high school. As seniors you are leaving us as graduates, but you will not be forgotten. We are proud of what you have done and will do as you go forth into many types of occupations beyond high school. We wish you the very best by way of health, happiness, and complete fullness of life. We know that you will bring credit to yourselves, your parents, and your school by the quality and nature of contributions in the larger community of which you too will become a most important part.
