ADMINIS ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT C. W. LAMONTAGNE Unfortunately for me, I have entered upon your public school education just at the time when you are preparing to leave it; however, may I wish you success as you go forward from the Hingham Schools. Possibly the follow- ing thought as expressed by a very wise and humble man, Ralph Waldo Emerson, will mean something beyond what I, a stranger, can convey: Shall I tell you the secret of a true scholar? It is this: Every man I meet is my master in some point, and in that I learn of him. SUPERINTENDENT DR. JOHN H. LAWSON To the 1962 Hingham High School Graduates The aim of education should be to con- vert the mind into a living fountain, and not a reservoir. — John M. Mason As you leave Hingham High School and start in a new field of endeavor, success will abound if you can follow the advice of John Mason as you put into practice the training received from your parents, teachers, and clergy. My warm congratulations and best wishes are extended to each of you.

Following the meeting the parents visited the various classrooms where each teacher explained his subject matter. During the evening the Student Council sold refreshments.

fRATION OUR FORMER PRINCIPAL ARNOLD W. BARTLETT The context of Mr. Bartlett ' s farewell speech to the student body was quoted from Fyodor Dostoyevsky ' s The Brothers Kar- amazov: People always talk to you a great deal about your education, but some good sacred memory, preserved from childhood, is perhaps the best education . . . for that one memory may keep us from great evil . . . Let us be, first and above all, kind, then honest, and then let us never forget each other. ■i iliSBii M f i (. w» t «t p I MUM iSiiiii ' fiSiiii «ijri OUR ACTING PRINCIPAL J. PRESTON BARRY Be not disillusioned by the skeptics of our times. Success and failure are not mere accidents as some would have us be- lieve but rather they are pure justice. For every fair day ' s work you will receive a fair day ' s pay.
