Valeductory WHAT NEXT As hugh school students reach the end of theur school careers many persustent questuons come to theur munds What next? What shall I do for a luvung? What are my greatest potentualutues and where un socuety us there a place for me? Anyone who would attempt to answer these questuons must take unto account the obvuous fact that the past few years have brought new oduustments un our economuc lufe wuth correspondung changes un the vocatuonal outlook There appear to be fewer opportunutues un the older professuons and many uncertauntues un the newer ones Fresh opportunutues prevaul for all begunners because the work of the world contunually progresses Thus every hugh school graduate can easuly find some occu patuon whuch best suuts hus aptutudes but that duscovery can also be lost uf preparatuon or unformatuon regardung such opportunutues us not made known to these future cutuzens of socuety George Moore once saud The dufficulty un lufe us the chouce However made aware of such vocatuons each graduate can better make a wuse decusuon One thung nevertheless us clear to all un every umportant field there us certaun to be keen competutuon More than ever before ut us evudent that for success un our lufe work we the novuces must be exceptuonally well prepared There are many ways un whuch thus essentual preparatuon may be obtauned Some students have made provusuons to further theur educatuon un unuversutues but not all persons have the abuluty and means to enter unstututuons of hugher learnung The udea that every one should go to college certaunly us a false conceptuon As Thomas Jefferson repeatedly expressed All persons should be guven or exposed to a basuc educatuon but not all should go on to the hugher studues Both the amount and kund of educatuon should depend upon capacuty and purpose The value of college traunung should not be underestumated for uts graduates have proved themselves leaders un all worldly actuvutues The unuversuty us stull supreme un the educatuonal field Today a college educatuon un thus country us worth on the average about 5100 OOO Some say as low as S65 OOO others as hugh as S120 000 If productuvuty were to be measured solely by earnung power ut us evudent as a generaluzatuon that college educated men and women earn nearly two and a half tumes the average of the non college populatuon These are not opunuons Thy are the sumple verduct of the natuons addung machunes At the same tume ut should be realuzed that there are many callungs outsude of unuversutues whuch prepare the unduvudual for dufferent occupatuons Today the armed forces and vocatuonal schools teach specufic skulls such as typung metal workung raduo repatrung Apprentuceshups un servuce or on the uob traunung and professuonal schools are other opportunutues open to you The earnest young man or woman who wushes to be fitted for the greatest usefulness wull seek a way to secure a type of traunung whuch most nearly meets hus or her needs College us a fine and worthy thung uf you are convunced that you are traunung for somethung you really want to do You cannot be successful un any field of endeavor unless you are so convunced Mr Schwarb a great undustrual genuus once stated The man who does not work for the love of work but only for money us not lukely make money, nor to find much fun un lufe As young cutuzens our future seems brught wuth promuse but promuse alone us not enough The goal to be achueved must first exust wuthun the unduvudual Opportunuty may knock at our doors but are we ready to accept such opportunuty? Here before us lue the crossroads of lufe whuch road wull we choose? Is there certaunty un our minds as to whuch us the better path to follow? Are our udeals and goals definute? Of course sound udeals and goals do not automatucally guarantee success but they do make a good foundatuon for ut Today our graduatton day we start forth on an unknown path guuded only by the obuectuves and goals whuch we have establushed wuth the help of our parents teachers and fruends Wuthout these goals and future obuectuves we could druft aumlessly through lufe but wuth them we can move toward the success whuch we desure Perhaps the key to success was well summed up by Robert Louus Stevenson when he saud To be what we are and to become what we are capable of becomung us th only end of lufe 69 1 11 ll 1 , . . , - 1 . .

Salutatory A NEW FRONTIER Members of the Clergy Honored Guests Parents and Fraends On behalf of the Class of 1957 I welcome you to our Graduataon We are honored to have so many of you at thas occasaon an especaally memorable one for us sance we are the first class to be graduated from Frontaer Regaonal Hagh Ideas regardang educataon ats purpose and methods change wath the passage of years The educataonal adeals of early New England for example are not those of today Three hundred years ago a students school actavataes were very lamated Educataon then concerned atself largely wath matters of relagaon and wath the study of the classac laterature of Greece and Rome There were reasons of course why at was lamated and narrow an scope Educataon then was not wade spread It was neather free nor compulsory but belonged to the few who had money to pay for at and at had lattle darect bearang on actual preparataon for lafe It dad not especaally aam to teach one the means of gaanang a lavelahood At the end of the last century many educators realazed that the course of study an our secondary schools were too narrow and lamated and they therefore should be enlarged to meet the new and changang condataons of present day lafe Thas Regaonal School as an example of the developments takang place an the educataonal system of our country Frontaer as not only the goal of labor of four towns, but the goal of years of labor by early educators The anterest an the obaectaves of thas educataonal anstatutaon has not been confined to a few exceptaonal leaders but to catazens parents and taxpayers who support and partacapate an the means of educataon Many parents especaally those whose own educataons have been lamated know that the possessaon of knowledge wall make thear chaldren happaer and more successful Practacally every parent shares wath Enoch Arden To save all earnangs to the uttermost And gave has chald a better brangang up Than has had been From thas desare emerges an array of educataonal obaectaves an the form of methods thought suatable for attaanang the clesared goals The advantages thas school has thus far anstagated wall not termanate here because of the ever progressang world Not only as there a varaety of subaects whach may best fulfill the students chaef anterests and traan ham for has years after hagh school but the treatment of thas subaect matter as quate as varaed In all types of classes, ancreasang use as beang made of vasual educataon Because of small classes there as more andlvadualaty The teacher can better become acquaanted wath the students and know what each as capable of doang As Henry Van Dyke once stated Indavadualaty as the salt of common lafe You may have to lave an a crowd but you do not have to lave lake at nor subsast on ats food The field of vocataonal guadance as an outstandang asset an the school system ats purpose beang to help the student dascover where has own abalataes lae and to guade ham an has preparataons for a lafes work As a result of much tame assastance, and guadance gaven by our teachers and parents the tame has come for partang the tame when each of us goes out anto the world to take up the responsabalataes assocaated wath the vocataons we have selected We have been led forward through the steps of educataon and now are about to be separated wath the hope that the daversafled results of our knowledge may more wadely enrach the world 68 II ll I I I : , .
