The eleventh edition of the Panther will bring back some of the highlights of our four- year preparation to meet the future. IKK JOSEPH F. MURPHY Director Division of Vocational-Technical Education I wish to congratulate the members of the 1966 graduating class of the Warren F. Kaynor Tech- nical School, Waterbury for their successful completion of an arduous program of preparation. You have completed a course of study more difficult than ones completed by most high school gradu- ates. You chose a strong and well-founded program of general studies as well as your elective major in a skilled or technical area. You and the program are unique in Connecticut and in the nation. The program that you have completed is available to students in a number of other states only after completion of high school. You have lead time on many other students of your age due to your choice, your efforts, cooperation of your parents, and the staff of the Kaynor Technical School. May you continue to retain this lead time to your advantage, to the advantage of your com- munity, state and nation. May you continue to set your eyes on new goals and prepare yourself to attain them. Joseph F. Murphy Director Division of Vocational-Technical Education 6 RICHARD W. HOWES Assistant Director Division of Vocational-Technical Education Graduating classes from the Connecticut vocational-technical schools have a reputation for skill, knowledge and the ability to deal effectively with people.
