Old Town High School - Sachem Yearbook (Old Town, ME)

Page 6 text:

MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL Principal John W, Abbott As we approach the end of another school year, the Editor-in-Chief of your 1964 Sachem has requested that I submit a mes- sage to be included in this edition. I shall, therefore take advantage of the opportunity this gives me to extend my most sincere congratulations to all of you students who have applied yourselves faithfully during the year to the very important business of con- scientiously preparing yourselves for the days ahead. Numerous recognitions have already been announced, and many more are about to be announced, which give clear evidence that a very large number of the present members of this school have already achieved note- worthy successes. This edition of the Sachem will list many of the academic honors that have been earned by individuals, as well as many of the worthy accomplishments of those who have participated in such activi- ties as debating, music, dramatics, science fairs, speaking contests, club projects and athletic programs. While these formal class- es and activities are about to be concluded, if you have applied yourself conscientiously, the real benefits that you have derived from these personal experiences in school will re- peatedly serve you as you continue your edu- cation toward a fruitful and satisfying life of service and good citizenship. We have often felt that we are particular- ly fortunate in having such an unusually fine group of young people entering this school 21 each year. VVe have also had occasion to feel that the youth of this community are likewise fortunate in having city officials and citizens who always give priority to the edu- cation of its youth. This combination has, in turn, inspired school officials and staff members to try to do much more for you than is usually done in many secondary schools, and the way most of you have responded has produced results that have generally been very pleasing. Consequently, this community frequently has had justifiable reason for taking much pride in the achieve- ments and the accomplishments of many of the youth who complete their secondary edu- cation in the City of Old Town. To the members of the graduating class of 1964, my very best of good wishes are ex- tended. We appreciate what you have done, and we have confidence that you will con- tinue to be a credit to your community, your school, your parents, and yourself. To the undergraduates, we Want to express a most sincere hope that you will fully re- spond to the educational opportunities that are available to you and that you will be inspired by the achievements and the suc- cesses of those who have preceded you to the point where you, too, may enjoy the satisfactions and the joys of life that will come to those of you who have faced up to your responsibilities and have met the chal- lenges in order to be ready for the better opportunities when they come your way. We thank you all for the cooperation and assistance that you have given during a year when some of you have been handicapped by the limitation of facilities resulting from our rapidly increasing enrollment. It is to be hoped that the much needed classrooms and the proposed vocational program may be added to our curriculum in the very near future, to enable us to better serve all pupils. It is to be hoped, also, that it will come in time to prevent the school from losing the double accreditation status that it now en- joys. This status can mean very much to all who graduate from an accredited school. In the meantime, we must carry on, doing our very best so that we may together minimize the effects of the situation as much as pos- sible. With your help we will continue to try to make Old Town High School a pleasant place in which your work may be done. Your success is likely to be in direct proportion to your effort, your achievements, and the record you attain while attending this school.
