Dear Graduates: My congratulations to you upon your gradu- ation. You have completed twelve years of learning basic knowledge as a means to an end not an end in itself. Your real aim should be to become a better and more productive citizen in our democracy. It is therefore a commencement in which you are about to participate-a commencement into life's real challenges, possibilities, and potenti- alities. It would be my hope that each of you would take unto yourself the motto Let Each Become All He Is Capable of Being and that each of you in his own way will live this motto and in his every effort try to reach his potential of suc- cess and happiness in life. Sincerely, Lester G. Peck Superintendent Dear Seniors: Congratulations to you all for your ambition and effort in reaching this most important plateau of your young lives. A high school diploma is not a gift or stroke of luck, it is a reward which you have earned through varying degrees of hard work, personal sacrifice, and a de- sire to develop your potential to its maximum. In receiving your diploma you should be happy, you should be proud, and you should be humble-especially the latter, because without your parents who have supported and cared for you all these years, your school committee that has provided so much in such a short time to improve your educational opportunities, your school administration that has constantly desired to improve the caliber and range of the curriculum, and your teachers who have worked so hard to educate you to your fullest, graduation day just would not be yours. Now that you have grown to young adulthood and as you start going your separate ways, you will find a never- ending need for knowledge. You will also find that, unlike your formal education at Mount Everett, you will have to pursue knowledge, because without this pursuit you will not develop whatever gifts God has given you nor achieve the heights which can be yours. Sincerely, James A. Shiminski Vice-Principal 7

Administration Dear Seniors: Congratulations on completing this phase of your education. Once the excitement of the prom, finals, and graduation has passed, I hope you reflect upon the responsibility and challenges with which you are now faced. Your parents and the citizens of these communi- ties have an investment in you. They have provided the financial backing necessary for your schoolingg it is now your responsibility to begin to make a return on this investment. What better return can you give them than to help provide leadership in the affairs of the communities in which you live? This, then, is also your challenge. Are you willing to accept this role? Have you had the preparation necessary to ac- cept this role? Are you capable of handling this role? Having known and worked with you, I have reason to believe that your answer to the above ques- tions is a resounding yes. Again, my most sincere congratulations and best wishes go to each one of you. Sincerely, Albert Trocchi Principal
