DEAR GRADUATES To The Members of the Class of 1964: During the past four years your class has distinguished itself in many ways.

Please make the assess¬ ment of yourselves honest and sincere. Best wishes, and may God be with you always. Sincerely, A CL, Thomas A. Blake, Superintendent. Ph. B. Boston College, Ed.M.

ENGLISH The English course of study is based on de¬ veloping students ' skills in the three central areas of literature, language, and composition. The importance of each area is recognized and an obvious correlation of the three is made. The objectives of the English Department are to help students read perceptively, feel keenly, think logically, and communicate effectively. Students are made aware of the significance of language and of one ' s responsibility in using it meaningfully. We Are Grateful For Myrna Serfilippi B.S. Northeastern University Elaine Pederzini A.B.
