TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 1959 The completion of your “Yearbook” serves as a fitting memorial to the events and activities associated with your high school days. The many items which comprise the book will, in later years, serve to bring back pleasant memories of your days at Ludlow High School. The pictures of the members of your class, the class will and ballots, all these serve to bring together the Class of 1959, I know that both now and in future years you will receive much enjoyment from this most rewarding endeavor. Your reminiscing in the years to come will be more vivid because of the “Yearbook.” I join with you in appreciation to those who have made the book possible and realize fully the amount of time and effort that the final product has entailed.

ADMINISTRATION SCHOOL COMMITTEE Left to right: Herbert L. McChesney, Edward J. King, Edward F. Burgess. A MESSAGE To the Class of 1959: Yours is the first class to have received a high school education entirely under a half-session school day. That circumstances have necessitated this curtailed day, this committee—and previous ones—has recognized and de- plored. However, we feel certain that the more serious members of your group—and that includes the great majority of you—have not had a curtailed education; your records show that you have attained the goals set for you by your teachers. Now, it is up to each one of you to see that he sustains this degree of effort in his post-secondary- school ventures—be he in business, in one of the military services, in a vocational training school, or in college. It is easy to succeed when success is assured; it is commendable to succeed when success is fraught with ob- stacles. The fact that you have managed to meet scholastic requirements under difficult conditions and that you have continued a full-time extracurricular program under those same difficulties will stand you i n good stead. You take with you asa class our congratulations for the dignified and orderly achievement of many goals— scholastic and extracurricular. May you as individuals persevere with the same tenacity in the pursuit of your various hopes and aspirations! Edward J. King, Chairman ; Herbert L. McChesney Edward F. Burgess June 10, 1959 SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS Left: Gordon O. Merkel
