FRANCIS WOODWORTH Director of Guidance GUIDANCE DIRECTOR To the Class of T956 You have now reached the position on the edu- cational ladder where the time and effort you have expended during the past twelve years will begin to bear fruit. You have encountered various obstacles along the way and you have had to make decisions of consequence. Your teachers have done more than merely teach you a collec- tion of facts, they have tried all along the way to prepare you for the event in your lives with which you are now confronted. You are well armed to face the challenge of life in a competitive world. The rest is up to you. Whether or not you are planning additional formal education, you will be exposed to learning in the school of living experi- ence. Today your opportunities for success are the greatest of all time. All that remains is for you to grasp these opportunities and convert them into a satisfying and meaningful life. The other members of the guidance staff and I wish you every success in your future endeavors. May I add my sincere congratulations to the members of the GHS graduating class of l956, You have made that first step toward a success- ful and happy life by completing the difficult, but worthwhile task of high school graduation. The members of the faculty of Gloversville Jun- ior-Senior High School are vitally concerned that the students receive the very best education pos- sible. We are now in the process of re-examining the content and sequence of courses offered in our schools. We are also considering new courses that should be added to our curriculum to pre- pare our students to take their places in a demo- cratic society. We are anxious that the educational needs of all students in school be met, whether it is the need to prepare for further formal educa- tion or the need to be well prepared for immedi- ate employment, and we are constantly working to that end. When the children of the I956 gradu- ates of GHS attend our schools, and that time will come more quickly than you realize, we want to be sure that their education will be even better than the one you received. My sincere wish is that the education you have received in Gloversville schools may help you find real happiness in your future life. DIRECTOR OF CURRICULUM COORDINATING ERNEST DU MOND Curriculum Coordinator
