'H Leslie R. Severinghuus: English, 19295 Headmaster, l942. The Hec:dmaster's Message This message to the Class of 1956 is being written during the Christmas vacation. Like everyone else, I am peculiarly aware of the blessings of friendship that are so richly apparent at this glad season. Iam reminded that we all have a tendency, because of the pressures of life, to neglect our friends until some special occasion brings us again into contact with them. This, it seems to me, is unfortunate. We should make particular effort at all times to cultivate our friendships. A letter today, a phone call tomorrow, a surprise visit when we pass through some city -there are hundreds of little opportunities to show our regard and affection for friends. We make so little use of these opportunities. As you go off to college, you separate from most of your schoolmates. They will go their ways and you will go yours. Some of them have meant a great deal to you during the past several years. You could mean much to one another in the years that lie ahead. Unless, however, you resolve now to keep in touch with them, the years will place a natural barrier between you, and a great and good value will have been discarded. You will increasingly appreciate that happiness in life comes almost en- tirely from association with others. Although you will always be meeting new people, some of whom will become and remain good friends, most of them will be acquaintances. Real friends are few. I would urge you to cherish and nurture those particular school friendships that have meaning to you. Don't let them slip into discard. The occasional alumni reunion will not recapture that early relationship. Once it gets away from you, it seldom returns. Although, in the present fullness and excitement of your life, this doeSn't seem to make much sense, it will fifteen years from now. As Polonius remarks to Laertes, Those friends thou hast and their adoption tried, grapple them unto thy soul with hoops of steel.
