Pl E GODFR SLB cl sul EL. J T H E L I O N ST. MARK'5 SCHOOL SOUTHBOROUGH. MASSACHUSETYS ALL couuumcuvons snoum ez Anonnsrn vo rar Lien This letter to the Class of 1943 is written with much pleasure and deep feeling. ' For five years I have been fortunate in having some or all of you in classes, but it is not through the medium of teach- ing alone that I have enjoyed my associations with you. There is somthing fine and exhilarating about relations between rrasters and boys outside of classes, which, if it did not exist, would make life exceedingly dull. As human beings we eannot avoid oocasioml minor clashes and irritations. But, in general, the end result is one of lasting friendship. This has been particularly true in the case of my relations with the Class of 1943. Teachers are required to hand out quantities of informa- tion to their students, much of which is unwanted and resisted by them. Therefore, teachers cannot be good teachers unless they are also students, particularly students of human nature. To me, it is that learning from and about you-- the interchange of your ideas and mine-f that has given me so much pleasure and taught me so much. In this tumultuous world, none of us can afford to stand still either mentally or spiritually. we must all be students, alert and ready to :make the most of every opportunity that may come to build a new and better world. In your hands and in the hands of your generation rests the opportunity to influence the hxture, for better or worse. God grant that the lessons you have you in good stead. Never let is be said you were other than-- learned here may stand of any one of you that turned his baok but marched breast forward, olouds would break, Never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would triumph, Held we fall to rise, are baffled to fight better, Sleep to wake. 'One who never Never doubted In closing, I wish all those of the class who have already and those about to graduate the best of good fortune ani every happiness in the struggle that lies ahead. departed Cordially yours, Wilfred 77 Gr.-'mlm D uF B aunt Rosen! w C uns o C vslv
