As President ot the Board of Education, it is a real privilege to wish all of you Godspeed , as you launch your ship for your journey through life. What is past is preparation, the fitting-out of the ship you are to sail. Now you, and only you, can take the helm, you may ask for advice in charting your course , you can seek the help of those who have preceded you, but you alone are the Master of the ship, and only you can make the final decisions. May Good Fortune be with you! .fffgy President, Board of Education 6

Oyster Bay harbor, nicely landlocked and having a deep-dredged channel devoid of treacherous rocks, is considered a sheltered and safe anchorage for small boats. It is fine for the launching, testing, and break-in of these craft and, within its kind embrace, repairs and alterations can be made with ease. Even accidents are not too serious for the shore and docks are close at hand ready to take over in the event of emergency or in case weaknesses have shown up in the trials. A day of final approval is set-and having completed the trial period, the new boat may be passed as ready for the open water where things are neither safe nor cozy, nor is the dry dock close at hand. lf the inspection and tests were thorough, the timbers are sound and will withstand the roughness of the waves, if weaknesses have gone undiscovered or unchanged, misadventure may befall the crew and much can be lost. So let it be with you, our Oyster Bay class of 1955. We hope your ropes are strong, your timbers sound, and that all sails are set to a brisk and steady breeze. We expect you'll soon be coursing on the Sound and we look forward to your reaching out to the ocean, the seas are rougher there but the opportunities to travel far are great. With a steady hand on the helm and the bow pointed into the wind, a bit of fresh paint when needed and regular polishing of the brass, your boat is ready for anything that comes. Happy sailing!
