Dear Students of the Class of 1976, The Class of 1976 holds the distinction of graduating in the year of our Nation’s Bicentennial. At a time when the credibility of our leaders is in serious doubt, 1 charge you with the responsibility to provide leadership in whatever your life’s endeavor. More important, I would charge you with rekindling the Spirit of 1776 at which time human dignity was paramount in the thinking of the Founding Fathers. Although democracy means many things to many people, we must not forget that it permits all of us to live with the truth about ourselves. This is a distinction held only by those who live in a democ- racy. I encourage you to perpetuate all that is good in our system. The .system will take care of all that is repugnant to it. I sincerely hope that your learning up to this point in your life not only has broadened your vision and raised your character but also has made you sensitive toward humanity. On a personal note, I have been with many of you for six years — three years at the Junior Fligh School and the past three years at the Senior High School. 1 hope that many of you consider me your friend, for I feel that I have many friends among you as a result of our long a.ssociation. All of my efforts as your principal were aimed at providing you with challenging and relevant programs and excellent teachers in addition to the maintaining of high standards. I will do no less for those that follow you. Academically, you rank as an outstanding class. In addition, the leadership provided by your cla.ss officers, Student Council officers and members of your class is exceptional. I sense that “Spirit In ’76’’ really is the beginning of a new Marple Newtown spirit. Finally, I extend to all of you best wishes for a happy, healthy and productive life. William C. Capriotti 3
