TO THE FACULTY We've all heard the Faculty referred to as a group of good guys or o bunch of characters , and there's really not much we can add to all the good wishes extended to them previously. We can only say that we have enioyed tremen- dously our association with such a fine group and that we feel we have gained something by our closeness with each one. For years the well-worn phrases: Now you see, for example , Oh really? Umm-humm , lsn't that really the way it works , I've got news for you, .lockomo! , Great! and 'many others will ring in our ears and return endearing memories to us. Words are not sufficient to express all that we would like to show in appreciation. So we, the Editors, hope that you will accept our sincere thanks as being representative of our class and a token of all we would like to give you. 11

To the Members of the Class of 1953: These lines are being written iust after my return from a memor- able series of Shattuck Family Gatherings in the East. As I think of the countless Old Shads of classes ranging from 1892 on with whom I have been in recent weeks, I am humbled by the impact which has been theirs in wide fields of endeavor. In reflecting on their varied contributions to this nation, my thoughts quite naturally turn to you and what may be your role in the life of America. Your individual potential is tremendous, your steps in actualizing this will ever be of deep interest and abiding concern to all of us on the Hill. As Seniors, in this our 95th year, you have done much to advance the pattern which we will seek to further in the Shattuck of the future. You began your years here in 1949 as a small class in a period of administrative transition. Yours has not been an easy path. Many have been added to your numbers, some have departed along the way. You have gone far in thinking through new approaches in the area of human relationships. Your willingness to evidence cooperation, even when the full understanding of the why has not been yours, has been of significance to me and to Mr. Craig. You have lent much assistance in forwarding a constructive program for the proper inte- gration of first year students. For your various contributions, for your friendship, I will ever be grateful to the Class of 1953. Your steps in the years ahead will be followed closely. I know enough about each of you, and about life, to sense that you will meet real hurdles in the years ahead. How you face up to these, and work through them, will be of vital importance to you and to many others. I believe that your experience here will enable you to become re- sponsible Christian leaders and that you will find many of the things which you have reiected in youth to be basic to your life and work. Convinced that this is true, I know that you will make every effort to insure that our work grows through the years ahead through your participation, criticism, and support. Shattuck is your School, and what we are able to accomplish for future generations of Shads will, in large measure, reflect your willingness to give of your time and substance in the furtherance of this challenging educational opportunity in a framework of Christian community. Each of you will be remembered at the Altar frequently. You will be in my thoughts and prayers often. May God's richest blessing be yours wherever you may be and may a sense of discipleship to the Master of Men be your guide and sustainer as you join the host of Shattuck men who have gone forth to spend themselves in the service of others. 13
