WORD TO THE SENIORS ... The Class of 1959 Montpelier High School May 12, 1959 Ladies and Gentlemen: The program of your graduation exercises will carry' on its cover “The One Hundred Forty-Sixth Anniversary of the Washington County Grammar School.” Whatever may be the relationship we assign to the Washington County Grammar School and Montpelier High School, the fact remains that you are representatives of an institution of learning that has a long and honorable history in the annals of American education. We who are identified with this institution, both faculty and students, like to think that our school is typical of the finest qualities that are the birthright of Vermonters: loyalty, steadfastness and conservatism. In loyalty we include worship of our God and adherence to the tenets of our religious faith, devotion to our Country and its Constitution, and respect, both for ourselves and for the rights of others. In steadfastness we strive to support that which is just and true against all the pressures of those influences that weaken the moral fibre of our fellow men. In conservatism we devote our energy to support those standards and ideals which our fathers, and their fathers before them, found worthy of maintenance and perpetuation. We support them, not because they are old but because they have stood the test of time. There is a vast difference between innovation and improvement. If you have acquired respect for these qualities during your four years at Montpelier High School you have gained more of this world's treasure than all the mathematics or foreign language or science can ever give you in a life time of study. With this advice we bid you goodbye; but wherever you go and whatever you do, know that our prayers and best wishes go with you. Sincerely yours, ROBERT H. CHASTNEY Principal

We breathe a sigh of relief, realizing ■ that the hard work is over and that the yearbook is at the press. We also breathe a sigh of regret remembering all the fun we have had organizing and editing the best RECORD ever published by any RECORD Board Staff. We realize that after June 12, 1959, the members of the Class of 1959 will go separate ways, probably never to meet again in one entire body. It is our earnest hope that in this 1959 RECORD we have recorded by word and picture the many joys and sorrows we have experienced in our four years at Montpelier High School. The 1959 RECORD Board Editors and Staff present to you the 1959 RECORD.
