Is There Anything I Could Do To Help? Dear Seniors: A ten year old boy from Briarcliff wrote to Congressman Richard Ottinger of Pleasantville offering to help in efforts to improve the Hudson River. Impressed by his interest, Representative Ottinger forwarded a copy to President Johnson. I suspect that by now John Schmelke of 257 Sleepy Hollow Road has received a reply from the President. I wish that one or more Pleasantville Seniors could have been moved to say I wonder if there is anything I could do to help. Is there anything I could do to help? Somehow I believe that many of you felt that way when you were ten. Do you still feel this way about things? Wouldn't it be a line world if we all felt so? Somewhere between ten and twenty too many of us absorb from others and from our experiences in trying to help the attitude expressed by What's in it for me?- What will I get out of it? It has been said There is nothing commoner than talent among modern men and nothing rarer than ambition, industry, and faith. If the author of these words had added willingness to help, I believe his words would have been even more true. Put talent, ambition, industry, faith, and helpfulness into any project and I predict that it will be done. Is there anything I could do to help? asks for leadership. It is from you that we look for this in future years. To become a leader one must have had experi- ence in helping others who lead. Only from this comes the support of others when you earn the leadership role. I predict for the young man from Briarcliff a useful life, especially if he continues to have the desire to help. I commend to you the spirit which is expressed in What can I do to help? Use it at home, in church, in college, in your vocation, and live a full and useful life. I've almost convinced myself that I should try it too. Best wishes from YM- hw Superintendent of Schools Harold Davey Board of Education '? TP ' li Q' I 1 'i sRsN F. Gillette, V. McGrath, G.
