Supervising Principal MR. 1. NEWTON COWAN Carnegie Institute of Technology Franklin and Marshall College, HS. Columbia University Temple University, M.Ed. TO THE CLASS OF 1953: It is said that President Conant of Harvard University has behind his desk a picture ofa turtle. Under the picture is the caption, To get ahead, the turtle must stick his neck out. There is a whole philosophy of life in this picture and its caption. The successful person is he who is willing to undertake new responsibilities, who is willing to champion causes, and, in order to go forward, will risk his security for an ideal. The entire history of human progress is made up of people who believed in something and were willing to strive forward toward their goal. As you leave Hatfield High School my best advice to you is to be like the turtle who wants to get ahead-stick your necks out! Be form something and work mightily for it. Accept a challenge of some kind and give it everything you have. Progress, your own and the world's, depends upon your willingness to do this. ln the words of Plato, Let each of us seek to learn and discern between good and evil, so as to choose everywhere the better life . . . follow after justice and virtue always . . . thus shall we live dear to one another and to the gods, both here and when we receive our reward. My very best wishes to you. - I. NEWTON COWAN 8
