Our YOUR LEADERSHIP WILL My congratulations to you, the class of 1959, for having completed this phase of your education. You will discover that education is a never-ending process which will continue as long as you live. May I leave with you the philosophy, expressed in the following quotation, which has comforted me on many occasions: “DON’T LET IT WORRY YOU If your efforts are criticized, you must have done something worthwhile. “If someone calls you fool, go into silence and meditate. “If the world laughs at you, laugh right back. It’s as funny as you are. “If you have tried to do something and failed, you are vastly better off than if you had tried td do nothing and succeeded. — Texas Parent-Teacher” Mr. J. Turner Hood, Jr. Superintendent The Twenty-third Psalm The diploma sheet is signed.

Administration LONG BE REMEMBERED THE CLASS OF ' 1959: It is a pleasure to have the privilege of writing these few paragraphs for your yearbook. I am sure that you realize that you are the first graduating class from North Reading High School to have received all twelve years of your education in our school system. I believe that your theme “Memories” is a most appropriate one, for you have been a part of the tremendous growth that has characterized the school system of this town. You have seen a one- building school system overflow into the Grange, Legion, and Town Halls and finally resort to a double- session basis so that all students could be housed. You have seen the agonizing delays with the building of the high school. In September, 1957, you entered the new building and returned to a single session. You have seen the school grown in slightly over one year from a mere building into a functioning high school. The above mentioned developments have afforded the Class of 1959 many unique experiences, both of the unhappy and happy variety. You have participated in the growing pains of the last few years. You have experienced frustrations and delays that at times seemed without answer. However, you have had the satisfaction of participating in the solution of many of the problems and in the establishment of traditions that will sex-ve as guideposts to future classes. You have memories that will provide many pleasant interludes as the years pass by. Fortunately, the pleas- ant memories will soon crowd from your mind the less desirable ones. The truly important incidents will re- place the trivial. I am sure that you will feel justifiable pride in your part in the development of the North Reading High School. In conclusion, I wish each and every one of the gi ' aduates of 1959 the utmost success in whatever en- deavor that he or she may choose Very truly yours, Daniel C. Boothby Principal “Your attention, please!’’ “Take a letter!” Mr. Daniel C. Boothby Principal Good news tonight!
