PRINCIPAIJS MESSA The equipment the taxpayers of our city and state have given you are repre- sented in the pattern of our mosaic. You take, too, the values- intellectual, economic, cultural-which make us civilized beings. We read these values in your faces and your record, in this lVlosaic. The object of our teaching has been to make you independent of us, your teachers. The appetite for learning and the inquiring mind, have been yours for developing. You have learned how to learn, how to sift information from many sources, how to distinguish fact from opinion and how to set out on many-sided searches for causes so that you may solve problems. Whatever your course, you have moved in the direction of self-support. You know pride in a job well done. You have been made a better consumer, while we produce for a limited number of years, we are consumers all life long. For cultural values you have belief in principles that have met the test of time. You have aesthetic values, the freedom to choose the best in good taste. You have experienced a taste for the beautiful, not merely the expensive. You have engaged in activities for the creative use of spare time. You have ethical values, signifying self-respect and respect for others. You respect sportsmanship. You feel the claims of worthy causes on your time. You have learned that there is more to life than a paying job, security, and social position. You have begun to find yourselves as individuals, and to lose yourselves in interests, causes and ideals more enduring than you your- selves are. You have been searching for things more meaningful to believe in in our world today. Yours is the scientific value: freedom to seek the truth. You have learned of a unity in nature, that the orbits of electrons, man-made satellites, and the heavenly bodies are the same. You have become aware of the order- liness of nature. As Spinoza believed, the laws of nature are the mathematical thoughts of God. At Wingate you have experienced and shared a freedom which, as else- where, is not perfect, but which is fuller in realization here in the U.S.A. than in any other place in the world. HWith the sky in your head symbolizes the free man with vision and opportunity less limited than ever before. lVlay you, dear graduates, so extend the power and promise of your own, of Wingate values. Cordially yours, 'Wm Dr. Colvin relaxes with his grand- 5 daughters, Rachel and Debbie. ff' GE '
