SCHOOL CQMMITTEE April 29, 1959 Dear Members of the Class of l959: With your generation rests the hope of the future, and the success or failure of its course will be measured by the adequacy of your preparedness. It is in the area of your training and instruction that the School Committee plans and works together with your administrators and your gifted faculty. The opportunity has been placed before you and only time and conscience will tell whether or not you have availed yourselves of it. As you live and work in the future you will gradually realize how precious were these years just passed, and in that realization we trust you will then become alert to your duty to- ward education. The problem in education is not one of build- ing or finance, but rather it is the more significant problem of a weak curriculum which fails to promote competition. Education has become a right, by opera- tion of law, and because all are entitled to it, the easiest schedule for instruction has become the rule rather than the exception in many places. Those responsible for your education have attempted to set up an exacting program thus forcing you to exert yourselves in your training, so that you may be better prepared for the competition which lies ahead. In the future you must .insist upon vigorous standards in education so that newer generations may be even more adequately prepared. If you pro- vide such leadership, it may well be the most import- ant contribution which you can make in the struggle for personal freedom and world survival. We of the School Committee extend our sincere congratulations to you upon your successful comple- tion of your course of studies. In meeting the chal- lenge which lies ahead we wish you success and Godspeed. Sincerely, Alfred B. Cenedella, jr. Chairman, Milford School Committee
