Ill. FRANK l. WEINHEIMER ssistant Superintendent as NX To our hrst Regional High School Seniors: This is a time of many needsg we are in need of more doctors, engineers, scientists, edu- cators, nurses, and leaders of men than we are producingg the amount of money needed to give us badly needed hospitals and schools staggers the imagination. We are surrounded by fear, misunderstanding, intolerance, mistrust, and we take sixty- seveu cents out of every dollar for national defense. We know more about preserving food, soil conservation, cattle breeding, and plant growing than ever before, but there is a shortage of food in the world. We are on the threshold of what promises to be either the greatest period of advancement in the history of man or his complete destruction. The course followed will be determined by xnan's attitude toward his fellows. If he works co-operatively, by substituting trust for mistrust, tolerance for intolerance, and understanding for misunderstanding, he will then bc free to exchange ideas and materials, bringing about a near Utopia. Public schools must produce the needed education and leadership in men if we are to solve our problems and to realize a better world. It is the duty of the public school to teach- in each subject area-all that every student is capable of learningg co-operation, moral and spiritual values for more democratic living must be taught through student council, club activities, and through intramural and interscholastic athletics. Our new facilities, curricula and co-curricula program will make it possible for us to help produce the training and leadership qualities necessary if we are to achieve this better world which is now within our grasp. As we embark on our new venture in the Freehold Regional lligh School, we must dedicate ourselves to this task. FRANK L. Wsmusrman, Assistant Superintendent

R. RICHARD I. BECK Superintendent I if .,., , To our Hrst Regional High School Seniors: You, who are graduating as our first Regional High School Class, have the splendid tra- ditions of the past to guide you, and the knowledge that you have participated in laying the foundations of a brand new comprehensive high school for this region. History will look to the June 1955 graduating class as the first class to represent to this entire area the fulfillment of a new approach to secondary school education. Essentially the new regional high schools which are springing up all over the state are devoted to the idea that a comprehensive high school program must offer a great variety of courses to meet the needs and interests of all students. Within a few years we will have a school of some eighteen-hundred or more students who will he selecting from some eighty or more courses in many different fields of leaming. Although all of these new offerings are not available as yet, you of the class of 1955 will be the first to establish the reputation of this new regional high school. We look to you graduates, therefore, as you leave our halls, to keep high your faith in Cod, your faith in your country, and your faith in yourselves, so that this new regional high school will in truth be held in high repute by all citizens of this area. Graduates of 1955, we congratulate you for achieving this important milestoneg we bid you always hold high the banner of your alma mater, The Freehold Regional High School. RICHARD T. BECK, Superintendent
