Parents, Friends, Teachers and fellow students, the graduates of the 1965 9th grade class of Henry Barnard School welcome you. It has been said that America ' s greatest strength is in its youth. For it is they who shall make this a better and stronger country. Our generation faces many perils Bnd decisions. We are faced with domestic problems such as racial ineauality. We are also faced with many foreign problems such a: Vietnam, Cuba, China and the Berlin Wall. This wall is similar to that which exists between some students and their teachers. It is built because of friction. In many cases, this wall keeps students from getting the full value of an education. We are fortunate here at Henry Barnard for both students and faculty have prevented this wall from being built. This lack of this wall allows individuality to flourish . In the South Sea Islands there is a simple taboo. It states that no one may touch someone else without that person ' s permission. This is a common courtesy to recognise the other person ' s identity, to recognise him as an individual. Andre Gide once said each one of us is an irreplaceable being. Each of us is unioue in some way and we all have some gift to give to the world. Schooling helps us to seek out this unicut Quality and cultivate it. Most of us have a long way to go in education, and we need a good backround to help us through this very important period in our lives. This back- round has been thoroughly instilled by the faculty of our school, and for this, we the members of the graduating class say Thank You. iEigfjt S tubent NurgfS Murbtreb
