ARTHUR N. SMITH, Principal To the Class of 1 958: You are the largest graduation class in the 108- year history of this Gloucester High School. Your record while in school indicates that you are also one of the most capable. You are graduating into a world where capability is at a new premium. The amount of knowledge, the kind of knowledge and the ability to apply this knowledge are today, perhaps more than ever before, essential to the person who wishes to carry on his life with the greatest satisfaction. Native intelligence and shrewdness will always be assets; today, by themselves, they cannot carry the whole load; they must have tools with which to work. Your community has generously provided these tools: your foundations have been well established. Those of us who have worked with you know that you will readily and capably take up your tasks, assume your responsibilities, and win your battles. Good luck. To the Graduating Class of 1958: During these times of celestial exploration and the attendant quest of space-possession, a resurg- ence for love of country and all that it offers you should be your paramount concern. Without it, we as a nation will fade into the abysmal role of a follow nation. Transmittal of our culture is yours to receive, from family, church, and school; and in turn, yours to give to others, we hope, with added strength so we may continue as a leader among nations. Will you meet the challenge? Sincerely, HAROLD B. GEARY, Director Gloucester Vocational School ARTHUR N. SMITH Principal , , 76e at 0,. ‘fty. S. WINSLOW S. PARKHURST Vice Principal HAROLD B. GEARY, Director, G.V.S. 7

Miss Claudia Perry, department head. Miss Nancy Smothers, and Miss Ruth Gaudet discuss a book in the library. It is the intent of the English Depart- ment to try to present a program so diversified that it will meet the various needs and goals of all the pupils at Gloucester High School. In addition, how- ever, to this special material planned for the pupil as an individual, there are cer- tain general skills and abilities, tastes and appreciations that all high school gradu- ates should possess. These include ex- pressing one ' s thoughts with clarity and accura cy, recognizing beauty in both thought and expression, reading with understanding, speaking with ease before a group, and appreciating the contribu- tions of the past to the present as well as the responsibility of the present to the future. A supplementary teaching aid offered occasionally throughout the year is the series of lectures given by Miss Barbara Wriston, the lecturer to schools from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. That the graduates of Gloucester High School will feel that their experiences in the English classroom have been reward- ing ones is the sincere hope of the English teaching staff. Other English teachers include, standing: Mr. Richard Bergeron, Miss Ann Darby, Mr. Willis K. Smith, Miss Jane A. Carroll, and Mr. William E. Kane. Seated is Mrs. Elizabeth H. Lamb.
