Davoreng Mr. Ernest Lombardi, Dr. Thomas De Palo, Mr. john Pyne. Dear Members of the Graduating Class, The members of your School Committee extend to you their congratulations. You have successfully completed the prescribed course of studies which entitles you to the Milford High School Diploma. In the pursuit of your study discipline you have demonstrated perseverance and steadfastness of purpose and have acquired habits of study which will prove to be of great value in future endeavors. During the past twelve years you have been under the subtle but constant inHuence of teachers who helped to mold your character and, in some measure. set the pattern of your thinking and your behavior. In the selection and choice of these teachers your School Committee played a significant role. The Legislature of this Commonwealth, with intui- tive wisdom, entrusted School Committees throughout the Commonwealth with broad powers to encourage and regulate education. It granted them a large mea- sure of freedom from municipal interference, said freedom seemingly unwarranted in these days of municipal financial'distress. And yet where would our system of public education be if it were to be placed at the mercy of individuals whose sole civic responsi- bility was a mere dedication to uncompromising economy in municipal spending and indifference to the requirements of education in a modern, highly evolved, technological society? It is the responsibility of your School Committee to chart a prudent and reasonable course, conforming to sound municipal finances, in the implementing of a program which will provide our school system with the proper physical plant and the teaching personnel necessary to a modern educational systemg assuredly this is not an easy task. Your School Committee spends many hours, in and out of scheduled committee meetings, studying prob- lems of curriculum, personnel and administration. We rely, to a large extent, on data and information submitted to the Committee by the Superintendent of Schools, and, through him, receive information from the various principals and department heads. School Committee meetings are always open to the public. Your School Committee always welcomes con- structive criticism and advice aimed at the improve- ment of our school system. Complaints and grievances from the taxpayers are often presented to us and we always strive to adjust them without bias or prejudice. We invite you, as future taxpaying residents of this or any other community of this Commonwealth, to attend our meetings and observe us at work. Only in this manner can you acquaint yourselves with the important work that your School Committee performs in the education and progress of your community. Sincerely, Nicholas A. Mastroianni, M. D. Chairman, Milford School Committee
