McCann Vocational Technical High School North Adams, Massachusetts Dedication A l With deep uppreciotion for his loyal und understanding service to the students of the Charles ll. McCann Vocational-Technical High School the Class of 1968 respectfully dedictites this book to MR. PETER P. CTARDILLO who, ulthough his tasks are difficult, disputchcsthem with dignity and genuine concern lor euch student. The lessons of responsibility and self-discipline that he has instilled in us will long linger in our minds :is the basic foundation on which to huild Ll mature churucter, 'P essage From The Superintendent 'lczxnf Mr. james R. Westall Many persons outside the field of vocational education conceive our func tion as a process by which we confer manual dexterity plain and simple. This criticism may have held true in the past. but, as graduates having spent two to four years at McCann, you realize such criticism is ob- solete now. The difference between vocational education and vocational training is not one of semantics but of course content and point of view, The student or worker is not simply a pair of handsg he is a person with a claim to individual dignity. regardless of whether he makes a living over a lathe or in a library, The newer vocational education programs reflect this. They recognize that a man's education must prepare him for every aspect of life. not just for the time he spends on the job. These programs help you. the vocational student, understand the relationship between your work and the total world in which you live. Consider how the vocational education program here has been broadened to develop every student not simply as an employee, but as citizen, as father or mother. and as a distinctive human person with a life to live as well as a living to earn. To each and every graduate I extend congratulations for your accom- plishment, and sincerest wishes for a fruitful future. james R. Westall The Artisan Staff .,-,Q , ,. AA: ji f'. :D 4' OL I .

We will now be called upon to shoulder new burdens, to make great sacrifices. to assume the responsibilities of adulthood, but our education of the past four years has contributed in large mea- sure to our ability to do this. We are now .,f X 3 able to take our places in this great democratic society and do what we can to make sure that it will continue--that it will never perish from the earth. Graduating from a vocational-technical school gives us an advantage over other stu- dents, for as technical students we have not only enriched our minds but we have also learned to use our hands to benefit society. Soon we will find out that the world does not owe us a living, that competition is keen, that there is no place in our society for those who cannot contribute something useful to it. Our technical know-how is needed To those who can provide it, jobs will be forthcoming. We have been given every op- portunity to improve ourselves--industry will be our testing ground. A technical school like ours fills the widening gap between high school and college and gives us the means to benefit society and ourselves . College is still open to us because our cur- riculum prepares us for it while teaching us a trade. In the very near future, we. the members of the class of 1968 will go forth--some to work--some to further our education--some to serve our country. As we do this it is necessary that we consider not only our own future but that of the country of which it is a part. All is not well . . . the problems that face our country are evident to all of us. Division in our nation is a wound that must be healed. All factions must work together to tear down the barriers of hatred and bigotry that exist throughout our nation. Our constitution guarantees us certain inalienable rights, but it is clearly evident that these rights are being denied to many in America today. lf this shroud does not lift from our nation, our very existence will be in jeopardy. It is true that our problems are complex. That is why we must all work together if these matters are to be resolved. We, as a free and democratic people must set an example for the rest of the world. And we must do our part, however small it may seem. In closing it seems fitting to take a moment to thank our teachers and other faculty members for the knowledge and guidance they have given us, the patience they have shown in helping us to find the answers which we have sought. We have reached a milestone today, graduation, but we realize that it is not the end--that we must con- tinue to learn--to use that which we have learned here in the past four years. The way has not always been easy, but the reward is great. A diploma is the key to a doorg when it is opened a new life stretches out before us. Opportunities are ra re so we must take advantage of them . Let us, again, thank our school, the faculty and the directors by saying with one mind and one heart--I-lail To Thee McCann!
