Your highgiilf school years of rapid physical and mental growth! looked upon as a bridge between the ebemintary school and collegef between immaturity and responsibility, between childhood and adulthoodf The period of your short life, which dates back to the beginning of the atomic agefmay some day hopefully T be considered the bridge between the era offcolonialism, imperialism, inter- national conflict, and the new epoch in which all thefinations of the world will have learned to live together in peace. Certainly ygfur lifetime will cover the transition in our country between the age of imperfect democracy to a more complete equality of all peoples. Education within the walls of a school is necessarily limited education. What is learned can too easily become sterile, formal, and outdated. The ex- plosion of knowledge and the rapid movement of historical events in the 20th century can leave us far behind. The bridge that the student must always learn to cross is the one between abstraction and reality, between formula and application, between theory and practice. lVlany of you will go on to an- other protected educational microcosm called college. Others will have to cross the bridge to the larger world of work without further delay. Wherever you go, we hope that your years at Jamaica will have helped you build a bridge to a useful, constructive, and meaningful future. Ave atque vale! YUALQJQI-I 1 Y 3
