From: The Superintendent To: The Class of 1952 Subj: Congratulations and best wishes. 1. You are about to leave us, ready to test the tools we have given you during your time aboard the Charleston-- tools of knowledge, of professional competence, of high personal standards. 2. I have watched you through your three years, growing from boys uncertain of your worth to men sure in your ability and understanding. 3. Many have gone before you, to serve in ships of peace and of war, equipped with these same tools which we have given you. They have acquitted themselves well; they deserve well of their school. 4. I know that you also will steer a sure, wise course through our troubled world; and therefore I wish you every succes in your profession and particu- larly the deep satisfaction of a job well done.
