You certainly must be experiencing a wonderful feeling of pride and accomplishment as your work at Kaynor Tech draws to a close and you are about to receive your diplomas. I, too. have a good feeling about this and would like to congratulate you and make one last comment to you if I may. That education is not complete with the receipt of a diploma is a commonly known fact, for education is a continuous process. Your education continues whether you go on to an institution of higher learning or whether you continue on in your apprenticeship to the degree of skilled craftsman in your chosen field. With this in mind, I ask you to be ever on the alert to take advantage of every learning situation and every working, opportunity for you surely will be confronted with countless numbers of them. I wish you all Godspeed. H. C. Folgmann Director 8

To each member of the Class of 1964 After four years of guided endeavor, each of you are ready to start into the adult world. You are prepared to run the race of life, but where you finish depends upon how you will take advantage of your opportunities from now on. In this changing world, a person must continue to upgrade himself. He must be loyal to his God, to his country, and to his family. He must also be firm in his convictions. I am certain that your in- structors stressed these qualities from September of 1960 until your last examination was complete. Follow their examples, and the money the State of Connecticut spent on your education will be repaid many times over. For myself, I thank you for the many pleasures I enjoyed through your achievements and accom- plishments as a student. My warmest regards go on with you. Very truly yours, John J. Mills Congratulations to the Class of 1961. To each of you a “well done” in completing this task successfully. You have taken a step in preparing yourselves to better serve mankind. One of life’s truths that will emerge more vividly as life progresses is that each of us depends on the other. In the 1600’s, John Dunn wrote . . . “No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main: if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a house of thy house of thy friends or of thy own were. Any man’s death diminishes me be- cause I am involved in mankind.” This involvement in mankind is more important now than ever: it is essential that each of you con- tinue to develop your potential, that you may better serve. Best wishes for a long, happy and fruitful life. Very Truly Yours E. J. Terrell
