To the Members of the Class of 1958: Arnold Toynbee in his book, CIVILlZATlON ON TRIAL, has written- lt is a paradoxical but profoundly true and important prin- ciple of life that the most likely way to reach a goal is to be aiming not at that goal but at some more ambitious goal beyond it. These words spell out a fundamental truth which I sincerely hope each of you may have as a guide in your approach to all under- takings of life. The capacity to know where you are going-and why, plus the ability to stretch yourself to the limit, is the key to the accom- plishment of any worthwhile goal. For you and for me, the awareness of the strength which comes from treading in the shadow of the Cross calls us to reach out to our Lord very frequently for the infusion of His strength both in covering the hurdles of the daily round, and in helping us to keep our perspective as we strive to attain significant objectives amidst the confusions which life so often presents. As Shattuck's Centennial Class you have stretched yourselves at many important points, both individually and corporately. I commend you for your adherence to your matriculation pledge to do your very best in all things great and small, to uphold the rules of the School, and to do all in your power to serve as a constructive example and influence to others, God being your helper. You have done much this year in laying a foundation which classes in our second Century may build to their credit and yours. You will be in my thoughts and prayers often through the years ahead. May you return to School often, and between visits I hope you will keep in touch with us by mail and otherwise. We will think of each of you in a very special way here in the Chapel on the EIGHTH day of every month. May that day be one for your particular thoughts about Shattuck and for the members of the Class of 1958. Climb high, climb far Your goal the sky, your aim the star. We I 13
