Principals Message Class Of 1977 In 1976 our country celebrated its 200th year. This year's graduating class will be the 100th to graduate here in Greenwich. If you would study that 100 years of history of your school you would find that there have been many changes. The requirements have changed, the educational program has changed, morals, mores, and values have chang- ed, and the society in which young people are educated has changed. This year's class marks the 31st which this writer has had the privilege of watching graduate. Over that span of years certain strong impressions have been formed. One of the foremost is that we have been fortunate here in Greenwich as to the general calibre of our youth. The great majority are good young people who can be counted on to go on to become good citizens and good people. They are normal young people who make mis- takes as do all of us as we struggle for maturity. But most have the basic good charac- ter without which this country could not have reached its present state. This is fortun- ate. It is fortunate for young people themselves but it is also fortunate for the welfare of American society. For that society cannot survive without a solid base of sound, de- pendable people. We have in recent times undergone periods of severe social stress in which the basic honesty of our society has come into question. The dishonest politician, the welfare cheat, the unscrupulous businessman, the lazy or slipshod worker, these and others have led to doubts as to the direction our society is taking. Yet, comparison with any other society on this planet leaves most of us feeling that ours is not one we would trade for any other. While ours cries out for reform in some areas, it remains a society unmatched in many ways anywhere else. But to survive and to be improved for all of you and for those to come it must have a sound, honest, thinking citizenry. You, the class of 1977, will have a chance to con- tribute to that condition. First, you must care, that is essential. Then you must fill your role in life as honestly and straightforwardly as possible. The re will be leaders among you, there will be followers. But whatever your role, do it as well as you may. Therein lies life's real reward. To the Class of 1977 we wish all the best. May you contribute well and may life re- ward you correspondingly. Sincere ly, E. F . Snyder
