Tilton School - Tower Yearbook (Tilton, NH)

The year draws to its close and Commencement time finds us in one of those positions where we are looking in two directions-backward and forward. In retrospect we see the experiences which, added together, bring us to the day of graduation from preparatory school. These experiences begin to clarify themselves. The important begins to stand out from the unimportant. The sig- nificant stands out from the incidental. The forward look is not so clear particularly in a world so clouded by con- fusion. The word Commencement is rightly used in connection with graduation. This is not an end. It simply marks another step in our progress. It is the com- mencement of a new phase of life. All that has happened previously is prepara- tion for what is to come. It is our hope that the graduating class of 1952 has been well prepared. We trust that those who go to college are well prepared to meet the academic stand- ards of the college level. But we realize that this is only part of the responsibility of such a school as Tilton. We trust that you are prepared to face life - to meet its emergencies, to take full advantage of its opportunities, to bear your full share of its responsibilities, to be strong in the presence of its temptations and heroic in the presence of its disappointments and disillusionments. May you go out with a deep reverence for that which is Holy, a wholesome respect for your fellow man and a real sense of your own obligations. Very best wishes from the Headmaster and his family. gtgwt
