Dear Graduates, Congratulations to you who are completing an important phase of your formal education. You are graduating during a period of adventurous progress, replete with exciting new goals. In order to be a contributing member of this era, you must assimilate a cultural heritage which is broader and richer than that which has been set before any previous generation. The tremendous enlargement of the environment to be understood, the increased need for tech- nical knowledge and skills, the increased responsibilities of citizens, the constantly accelerating rate of change call for an education that will enable you to apply the accumulated wisdom of mankind to unforeseen conditions as they arise. To meet these challenges, you must consider your education as having just begun. Education has no frontiers - it does not start at a certain time, and it does not end with a given period. It is a limitless process with limitless possibilities, It is the awareness with which we explore life and through which we try to make human existence more meaningful and thus achieve personal happiness. Happiness is not simply having a good time, but it is one of the most solemn things that can happen to an individual. Happi- ness consists of achieving to whatever extent is possible the freedom to use your mind. A practical result of free use of one's mind is that one tends to find the world intelligible and interesting in many, if not all, of its parts. None of this enrichment of life is accessible to the uneducated person. So, I encourage you to continue your search for knowledge, keeping in mind that the actual is limited while the possible is immense. Alik- 'Elf S' l , 'mere Y CALVERT sci-1L1cK johns Hopkins University, A.B M Ed - Columbia Teachers College CALVERT SCHLICK Principal, Mount Everctt Regional School Dear Graduates, Very shortly you will have completed a most important phase in your life. Does this mean that the chapter in your life called Education is now ending? Hardly. More im- portant, it means you now have developed and acquired tools with which you may both broaden and deepen your knowledge. Why acquire knowledge? To what end do you propose to use this wisdom? Wfhoever attains knowledge but does not put it to use for his own good and for the good of mankind in general is like a man who ploughs his garden plot but sows no seed. It is therefore important that the tools you now have are never allowed to rust, for never was there greater need for honest, straightforward thought and action. All best wishes for success go with you as you end your school days at Mount Everett. Sincerely, 0451-Q4 awa- ALBERT TROCCHI Vice-Principal Mount Everett Regional School 7 fl' ALBERT TROCCHI Bates College, A.B.

Onward and Upward, Excelsior, Higher, ever Higher and many other phrases are used repeatedly at graduation, and you know, platitudinous as they sound, the ideas behind them are good and honest ones. Our Seniors have completed twelve years of basic training which were designed to prepare them for better things - a better living. a happier life - than they otherwise might have had. I earnestly hope that the completion of high school will not mark the end of education for them, nor cause them to cease striving for the finer things in life. Therefore, let me congratulate them for what they have accomplished, and at the same time urge them on to a brighter future. Sincerely, Willard A. Downie Superintendent of Schools 6
