uperintendenfis' Message Free education which all of you receive until you graduate from high school is a long term investment to make every young person better able and better disposed to make the community a better place to live in and a better place in which to make a living. Every graduate of Oliver Ames High School owes two debts. He owes to himself con- tinued learning all his life that he may become a happier and growing personality. The more good things one is interested in the richer his life will be. To the community the graduate owes a debt that he can repay by being a good citizen. He can be a good citizen by voting intelligently, taking an active part in the community and by being a good neighbor. I feel certain that the graduates of 1959 will fulfill their obligations as citizens of this great land-the United States of America. Philip M. Hallowell Superintendent of Sclaoolr

Zyrinczpal is As I prepare my annual message for the EAS- TONER, I am most conscious that I write, not as an individual, but as a person whose name and behavior and attitudes are completely intertwined with the name and the reputation of a fine high school. This high school of ours is larger than any individual or class or group of individuals within it. It will exist and serve the good purposes of education many years after we, as individ- uals, have left the immediate scene. Yet this high school is and will be exactly what each of us as an individual makes it to be. We are the Oliver Ames High Schoolg the Oliver Ames High School is ourselves. We can- not avoid this relationship and, indeed, should take pride in it. In this annual message of 19,59 I point with pride to our school and to this class of 1959 in particular. Although our society is such as to make each class' obligation and responsibility more challenging, the leaders of this class and the members of this class have worked hard to uphold the reputation of our school. So long as our school exists, so long will there be challenges to meet. Wfhen the challenges are most severe, we shall produce young people of courage, of vision, of responsibility, and of leadership to meet the challenge. We know this to be true, for in this year we have had convincing proof. Peter C. McConarty Pwzciltvaf Massage

WILFORD WOODWORTH Billy has been a great inspiration to all of us. Although he couldn't attend classes right with us, he always remained with us. The Class of 1959 wishes Billy a great deal of success and happiness and may his great spirit always guide him through life. Derivation The Class of 1959 dedicates its EASTONER to Wilford Woodworth, a fel- low classmate, and Mr. William Nixon of the faculty. WILLIAM NIXON Mr. Nixon has taught for five years here at Oliver Ames. He has also coached the athletic teams for the same time. He has coached and taught us during these past four years many things. Now we would like to thank him by making this dedication. The Class of 1959 is grateful for everything that he has done for us, and we wish him the best of everything.
