You, the graduates of 1952, face aworld situ- ation which is made complex by many political and economic problems. Whether or not the situ- ation improves in the very near future probably has been and is being decided by those people now in power, However, the course of events following the present period will be decided by the students that we are graduating today, You, the youth of the free world, are the most promising force for insuring its future, You must believe in and practice honesty, integrity, sound economy, and a righteous way of life, and you must think and express yourselves in a country where you may do so openly and without fear. We know that we need an educated and aggressive citizenry, who, guided by these principles and with the en- thusiasm and intensity of youth, should insure us a world that is cemented by friendship and governed justly by those most able to rule. I wish to take thisopportunity to congratulate you, the members of the class of 1952, upon the successful completion of your high school educa- tion. i Ship's Executive Mr. Francis W. Kelly Mr. Richard W. Hann Officers SCHOOL HEALTH Every child should be in good health to enjoy all the benefits of education that the school has to offer. Both the mental and physical health of a youngster are the responsibility not only of the home but also of the school. The school, in connection with public health nurses and local health officer, holds clinics to provide for protection against communicable diseases. It is necessary that the parents co- operate in allowing their children to be so pro- tected. The school medical doctors examine each child, generally at least once a year, but the players on all athletic teams are given a much more stringent examination. Annually the school nurse checks the hearing of each child with an audiometerg his sight is checked by the Massachusetts Vision Testing device. If any abnormal health condition exists, the parent of the child is notified by mail, by tele- phone, or by a home visit from the school nurse. Parents are expected to notify the school when these corrections are made. An amount of money has been raised by con- tributions from organizations in the communities, faculty dinners, and organizations within the schools. This is known as the Revolving Fund, the purpose of which is to lend money .to nidividu- als for the correction of defects, especially of the eyes and teeth. This is operating very success- fully.
