I know that I speak for the entire faculty in wishing the graduating class a most successful future. Your group has the potential for de- veloping many outstanding leaders in the world of tomorrow. Your mentors hope that you will continue to visit Franklin School in the years to come and to enrich the many friendships started in high school. Good Luck, Class of 1959! S---N 111675 2
