DEDICATION For your vision of a modern regional school finally realized; for the pleasures and privileges that have been ours in attending this school; we, the first graduating class of Silver Lake Regional High School, heartily thank you and the members of your committee. In your honor, Mr. Chester T. Ray, we dedicate the first edition of The Torch. Mr. Ray graduated from Brockton High School in 1925 and began his study of education at Bridgewater State Teacher ' s College. After gradu- ating with a Bachelor ' s Degree in education in 1929, he began his teaching career at Hanover High School for one year, then transferred to the Oakdale Junior High School in Dedham, Massachusetts, for four years. During this period he obtained his Master ' s Degree from Boston University. His position as principal of various schools for twelve years gave him excellent experience for the responsibility, which he undertook in 1946, as Superintendent of Schools in Charlemont, Hawley, Heath, and Rowe. We are very fortunate in having Mr. Ray as our Superintendent.
