J,-' CHESTER T. RAY Administration It is always a pleasure to respond to a request from the seniors for a mes- sage for the MATTAKEESETT. However, it is not always as easy to furnish such a message without repetition. Regardless of the changes appearing today in method, the fundamental aim of our schools remains the same. Our free public schools have always existed for the preservation of country. Plato was one of the frst to state that a republic would perish if a single genera- tion of youth was not instructed. Many of our own leaders, including Jefferson, Horace Mann, and Theodore Roosevelt, have expressed similar thoughts over the years. Fundamentally, the acquiring of an ability to think for oneself, to appre- ciate one's neighbors, and to recognize those contributions providing the greatest good to the greatest number are our school's primary objectives. Pembroke Schools have consistently tried to foster these appreciations. This is well-illustrated by the Junior Town Meeting this year, the pupil exchange ANN MAK1, '54 Student Attendance Officer EVELYN WIIITAKER School Secretary Qgtvv, LM program, and the activities of the Stu- dent Council. Certainly, a practical application of fundamental principles, taught through first-hand practice, is a foundation for later-life usage. So long as our schools can demon- strate to our pupils the real concepts of Democracy through everyday living we have nothing to fear. Congratulations to our student body for being a part of such a laboratory for studying these principles of gov- ernment. I sincerely hope and trust that in your studies you are able to discriminate between the important and the unimportant, that you are able to live and worlc with others, and, in appreciating your neighbors, will con- tribute 'more of your own talents to a better world of tomorrow.
