ROBERT W. SLOAN Tigers, communists, to Michigan, tennis, history, and ‘‘Baker, do you want to flunk homeroom?”—all these words and many more will bring back memories of the friendliness and sincerity of the little guy in Room 5 with the big sense of humor. In thanks for these and many more things too numerous to men- tion, we dedicate this, THE 1962 RECORD, to Mister Sloan.

PHILIP H. MATHEWSON Superintendent of Schools The ability to think gives man a great advantage over other forms of life. What each individual thinks is of great concern to all of us in our democratic society. What are his thoughts on justice, cooperation, honesty, hard work and personal sacrifice? Will they be so directed that democracy will flourish and prosper? The real purpose of education is not only to transmit to the younger generation some of the information acquired over the past centuries but also to develop within the individual the ability to think and to think constructively. Each individual should be given the opportunity to develop to his full potential. The Montpelier Public Schools have tried to give you a sound education. It is up to each individual to make the best possible use of it. It is my pleasure to wish you continued success as you leave Montpelier High School. ROBERT H. CHASTNEY Principal of Montpelier High School The Members of the Class of 1962 Montpelier High School Montpelier, Vermont Ladies and Gentlemen-. One of the most pleasant traditions of which I know is that custom at Montpelier High School of having your principal give you a parting message by a letter in the RECORD. It would be trite for me to tell you how quickly these four years have passed and how you are now facing a new and different world; even though these things are true. I can only hope that you are at least partially as proud to be graduates of Montpelier High School as I am to serve as its Principal. Recently I read an address of a contemporary American statesman from the Middle-West who said, “When an American says that he loves his country, he means not only that he loves the New England hills, the prairies glistening in the sun, the wide and rising plains, the great mountains and the sea. He means that he loves an inner air, an inner light in which freedom lives and in which a man can draw the breath of self-respect. ' So I feel about you who are leaving us. You have been given the best that America has to offer. You are entering upon a career in the knowledge that no man or woman can have a finer heritage than that of an American citizen and a resident of Vermont. Therefore, as you leave our school, know that the prayers and best wishes of your teachers and your Principal go with you. When you can, come back and visit us. We are always glad to have you return. Cordially yours, ROBERT H. CHASTNEY
