My Dear Graduates, In discussing the development of man, John Lancaster Spaulding once said that the greatest service we can perform is to give to each human being a right intellectual education so that no child of God may live with a darkened mind. Therefore, the specific function of any school is the making of minds. As such, it is an intellectual agency. For the past four years at Leicester High School, Mr. Skelley and his com¬ petent staff of teachers have concerned themselves with your mental develop¬ ment, fully realizing that the noblest virtue of their profession is to provide you with the type of education that will enlighten your minds so as you may Mr. Edmund F. Tierney, Superintendent face bravely the challenge of the fu- 7 r ture. That they have succeeded in this endeavor is apparent by the keen re¬ sponse of colleges and local business firms to applying members of this year ' s graduating class. It is a source of great comfort to me to know that your growth in knowledge and understand¬ ing has been fostered and promoted at Leicester High School. FAREWELL TO MR. SKELLEY Not that we loved the other faculty members less, but that we loved Mr. Skelley more. Although he was as constant as the northern star in en¬ forcing strict school-regulations, his ways were quite gentle and admirable qualities were so mixed in him that we might proudly say to all our friends, This is our principal! In conclusion, the Class of 1958 addresses these lines to this famed Shakespearean authority: Forever, and forever, farewell, Mr. Skelley! If we do meet again, why, we shall smile; If not, why then, this parting was well made. Hr. Edward L. Skelley, Principal 2

A Tribute To The Faculty The test of a true leader is to know the way, go the way, and show the way. As we con¬ clude our high school careers on this memorable evening of June 4, 1958, we are very grate¬ ful to the men and women who comprise our high school faculty. They have nourished and guided our minds in such a capable way as to bring to consummation the hopes and dreams we entertained as starry-eyed freshmen in the autumn of 1954. Then, the signpost with the arrow indicating Graduation - 1958 had a faraway meaning to us. Tonight, the four-year journey along the path of secondary education comes to an end, for the vague destination of yesteryear has been reached. As the captain of a ship thanks God for a pleasant voyage when port is arrived at safely, we would like to thank our teachers at this time for leading us to this happy occasion. Each of them truly deserves the title of true leader.
