Hoosac School - Owl Yearbook (Hoosick, NY)

 Hoosac School has made steady progress over the past few years in the integration of a sound moral philosophy and preparation for college or life. These ideas are simple enough to suggest as the basis of both curricular and extra-curricular training. Nevertheless, to implement them requires a great deal of planning, thinking, adding and discarding. To follow historical patterns, we should strike a proper balance. While this is indeed the Hoosac way, it is not always simple to do. The means by which the mental and moral growth of Hoosac boys is promoted is found in a daily blending of the Christian ethic with all subject matter that is taught. These educational concepts are important and over the past seventy years they have grown to be a part of this school. But age alone does not necessarily make a thing good. We find that what is good in the concepts is that they provide the best hope we have of preventing man from becoming an animal. They are the best guides for us to follow in our constant search for justice, world understanding and peace. In this day of missile armament growth and compe- tition, let us not forget (and in 1985 when the class ol 1960 has its twenty-fifth reunion, let us not forget) that we must constantly ask ourselves the question which the psalmist asks in the one-hundred and twenty- first psalm and in our own school song: . . . From whence cometh my help? Page 4
