To the Graduates of the Class of 1970 The class of 1970 is graduating from high school at the beginning of one of the most exciting decades in his¬ tory, when man has impatiently shaken the dust of earth from his feet, to set them softly down in the dust of the moon. In the last ten years, he has opened doors that have waited since the beginning of time for his hand; but beyond each door there is a new threshold, another quest, and the next decade awaits the skilled, talented and am¬ bitious young men and women of today. One of you may very well have locked in his intellect a cure for many of the world’s ills; another may one day explore the path to Mars; yet another may have great leadership potential, and serve his country in high places. This is the future l wish each of you—that you may realize your potential, whatever it is; whether a whole country, or perhaps the world benefits from your talent, or whether you perform the equally important job of keep¬ ing one family together and happy. Enjoy the coming decade, work for it, possess it, make it yours. It is my loss that my stay in the city has been too brief for me to know you personally, but I wish for all of you the full and rewarding life that awaits the ambitious and well-educated young man or woman of today.

Andrew T Movnihan Head of English Department Harvard A.B. Boston University Ed. M. Eng. Comp. Lawrencian Having the distinction of being the most widely spoken language in the world, English is also the most difficult to master. The aim of the Lawrence High School English Department is to produce young men and women who know their language, and who therefore have the ability to express themselves in either the written or spoken word with clarity and distinctness. To master a language, any language, takes long and concentrated work—and so it is with English. Word building, rules of grammar, w ; de. wide reading and extensive writing of paper after pap°r produce the complete American. The abilitv to communicate is not, in itself, enough. Communication must be intelligent, explicit a n d thorough in a world where there isn’t time to read anything twice. Our English Department wants its grad¬ uates to be right the first time! Daniel J.
