s- .-I' .,r.. Dear Students: Mark Hopkins, the famous educator who is most frequently pictured at one end of a log, coun- terbalancing a student at the other end, summed up his concept of schooling in these Words: Edu- cation, in the widest sense, includes everything that exerts a formative influence and causes a young person to be, at a given point, what he is. Your education has certainly been of this sort. Some of your learning has come from books. Some has come from your participation in various ac- tivities. Probably even more of it, however, has come as a direct result of your association and friendships with teachers and other students. That phrase, friendships with teachers , may seem incongruous in these days of mass-produced education. Yet, fortunately for you, it is not a mis- nomer in your situation. Furthermore, the reverse of the phrase is equally true! It is impossible to become close to another by trying to do so. Friendship is the indirect result of something else. Courtesy, kindness, and an attempt to give of yourselves to others are the usual roads by which friendship is reached. You have graciously opened all of these roads for your headmaster as well as for your teachers. For that reason, my journey has been a happy one. Traveling with companions such as you has been an inspirational as Well as an educational experience. I am delighted that my education with you-and by you-is far from complete. Bon voyage to each of you, and my grateful thanks for sharing so completely this year's journey with me. Most cordially, f X K wfwwnsa-w 7
