We must have well-educated men and women to run our country if it is to continue as a successful democracy. In a town such as Stoughton, which is continuously growing, more and more schools must be built to meet the in- creasing demand, and existing schools must be expanded. Stoughton has done an exceptional job in meeting this de- mand. Within the past three years, two new schools have been built: the South Elementary and the Junior High Schools, to supplement the six existing schools, and the Chemung Hill Elementary is in the process of being built. Finally, in our own high school, which has been enlarged twice, a new language laboratory has been built, the library has been expanded, and the scie nce depart- ment has added many new facilities. We, the class of 1962, wish to thank the citizens of Stoughton, the School Board, the Administration and Faculty, and all those who have made our school years in Stoughton so profitable and en- joyable. 2

SCHOOL COMMITTEE Seated — Edmund Daly, David Benjamin, Robert Buckley, Chairman; Dr. Appleton Woodward, Leonard Anderson, Joseph Gibbons, Superintendent. To the Class of 1962: That a sound educational program has far-reaching, beneficial effects is part of our American faith. Our people believe that, through education, their lot and the lot of their children can be improved. Youth must expect to exhibit self-reliance, determination, and energy in the process of growing up, but it has a right to certain conditions provided by others. Y outh has the right to a family which is affectionate and stable, to a community which is wholesome and friendly, and to a government which is respectable, intelligent, and devoted to the public welfare. The status of the individual must remain our primary concern. All our insti- tutions — pohtical, social and economic — must further enhance the dignity of the citizen, promote the maximum development of his capabilities, stimulate his responsible excercise, and widen the range and effectiveness of opportunities for individual choice. We extend to the Class of 1962 our congratulations and sincere best wishes. STOUGHTON SCHOOL COMMITTEE
