The graduating class of 1969 has arrived. You have completed a chapter in your own lives, but in doing that you have influenced many other people, especially teachers and other students. Conversely, they have touch- ed your lives, contributing to your growth as persons. Vocational education does this in a special way — bringing people into closer relationship that stimulate one another’s po- tentials, attempting always to bring out the best in you. Our prayer and hope at Kaynor is that you continue to strive in this direction — influencing others, and letting their influ- ence on you bring out your best as a crafts- man and as a worthy citizen. JOHN L. ROSSI Director To the Class of 1969 As Kaynor Tech students your time at school has seen unprecedented worldwide happenings. Wars, narcotics, space achieve- ments, racial disorders, student protests, adult protest, have occupied a disproportion- ate part of the communcation services. Hope- fully you will accept these conditions as chal- lenges that can be corrected so that you can improve your world. You have the tools to achieve, I hope you have the desire. JOHN J. MILLS Assistant Director 5

To the Members of the Class of ’69. To each of you as individuals, Congratula- tions. As you go through life remember that we are entrusting each of you with a part of our reputation. We know you will not fail us so please do not fail yourselves. Put in every day’s work the same effort that you put in as students and you will succeed propor- tionately. E. R. MYER Assistant Director Adult Education Responsibility and participation are as much a part of adulthood as books, teachers and study are of adolescence. At the same time that you are congratulated for the knowledge and skills acquired while at Kaynor, you should feel challenged by the responsibilities of adulthood. Your value to man will be measured not by what you know but rather how effectively you aid a world seeking peace and understanding. Adulthood demands continued growth, humility, and a willingness to use your re- sources to help make our world a better home for tomorrow’s youth. I thank the Class of '69 for the experiences you have shared with me and wish you suc- cess and happiness in the future. DANIEL KEEFE Guidance Director 4
