To the Class of 1968: You, the Class of 1968, are the 125th class to leave St. Johnsbury Academy to find your “place in the sun.” It is an unfortunate coincidence that you represent the fourth class to graduate during a 25th year anniversary faced with the awesome responsibility associated with armed conflict. In 1868, the first quarter century class left the school in the heat of the Civil War, an internal strife with wounds unhealed today. The graduates in 1918 were thrown full force into the fires of World War 1. The Centennial class m .1943 faced the challenges of a second world conflict. Here, in 1968. the Quasquicentennial class is deeply involved in a strange undeclared war with fantastically divergent public opinions. 1 hope you are better prepared to understand the world about you preceding classes. You have been given the tools with which to work and you counseletKo use these tools in your pursuit of a future goal. Howfyoti actually utilize the resources at your disposal will, in a great measure, be the evideiuteraTOr confidenc in you. Your task is great. Fortunately, your spirit and courage are equal to the rfs you leave this Academy, I cannot desire more for you than the perseverance ful future. My £c y U»cst wishes go to each of you. Sincerely. than the you have been dual Donald M. Jacobs Headmaster
