SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE Class of l94l: Members of Newington's three previous graduating classes had great difficulty in find- ing their places in the scheme of things. The natural enthusiasm of youth to earn and to learn was dampened. Office, industry, farm and further training are calling today. Each of you has the problem of choice. The faculty has helped you make vocational decisions, but circumstances change as time passes and other decisions must be made. Guidance has not given you the final answer--it has taught the way in which intelligent decisions are made. You must decide if the job you accept is a high paying, short term affair or whether it has possibilities of permanence and growth toward greater things. Some of you must choose between good pay now and training for something more attractive later. Each of us has a responsibility to make this country just a little better because we have lived in it. Material things which have occupied so much of our attention are necessary in their place. Life must also have qualities such as love, reverence, beauty, freedom, loyalty, hope and service for the common good. PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE To the Seniors: No Senior Class that has graduated from Newington High School needs clearer balanced thought than the present one With the world full of uncertainties lies and more ' and r ganda, a conscientious endeavor should be made for sound planning in charting a,future courge?p At the present time there are many blind alley hi h ti 1 b - garytrewirds which come during any rearmament period.S gt is Eggglsnwogtggstatgagging? tgzsgoggy urs e a soap bubble at any moment leaving a person bewildered and unprepared for construc- tive future activity.
