June 1973 To The Graduating Class of June 1973: This, your senior year in high school, has been referred to as the Age of the Majority.” The Youth of America, those under twenty-five years of age, make up the greatest number of United States Citizens. Among the privileges extended to you this past year are the right to vote, to sign contracts, and to purchase alcoholic beverages. These privileges will be accompanied by varied responsibilities. The responsibility to vote should not be taken for granted. Edmund Burk said over 200 years ago — “All that is necessary for the forces of evil to win the world is for enough good men to do nothing.” One should exercise this right which is denied men in many parts of the world. Another responsibility is that of contract. These agreements require the legal advice of experts when they involve large sums of money. The old saying that he who uses himself for an attorney has a fool for a client,” serves to remind us of the caution which should be exercised before engaging in a major contract. One should be cognizant of the dangers in excessive use of alcohol. Shakespeare alludes to this in Othello. The quote is as follows: “O God; that man should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains; that we should with joy, pleasance, revel, and applause, transform ourselves into beasts.” Shakespeare, Othello. II, 3 A vote of confidence has been extended to you. Through the American system of government, the rights of the individual have been expanded. The responsibility to exercise these rights in a mature manner are incumbent upon the recipient, you. May all that you strive for be realized. I have enjoyed my association with you, the class of June, 1973. Sincerely yours, Nathan Chesler Principal
