SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF '86 Dear Members of the Class of '86: It is an honor to have this chance to speak directly with you. You are about to embark on an unparalleled mission - a series of challenges that you have never imagined and a life of opportunities and experiences far richer than any generation before. You have survived a great time of change in the world, in Plainfield and its schools. This world is open to you, as no generation before. How will you respond to these challenges? I would hope that your response is confidence - in yourself and in the education you have received in your schools, as well as the nurturing of family and friends. All that we in the schools can hope to achieve for you is preparation and a love for excellence - preparation for higher education, at an institute, trade school, college or university; preparation for a job that will reward, not only monetarily, but lead you to lifelong satisfaction and fulfillment; preparation for the expectations of society, to be a productive citizen, and an asset to your community; preparation for the herculean responsibility of beginning and nurturing a family; and, finally, preparation for leadership and success in today's and tomorrow's world. Self-confidence, and the wisdom that comes from knowledge and experience will carry you through the times ahead. If the Plainfield Public Schools have planted the seeds that will provide you these things in the years to come, surely we have succeeded. We are your family, and you need to know you will always be welcome to return to visit us, again, to share in your triumphs and to ask our advice when times are trying. Your teachers, principals and every single member of the Plainfield school staff are concerned for you, welcome the opportunity to continue serving you, and to provide the support it will take to excel in the years ahead. I am proud of you and wish all the very best for you in your every endeavor. The faith and pride of the entire Plainfield School System and its Board of Education go with you in everything you do. Thank you for being a great credit to that faith and pride. Sincerely, Oliver W. Lancaster Superintendent of School
