embers of the Graduating Class of 1966: Id your invitation, 4it is my pleasure to present a few mments for yoOf yearbook. Although these thoughts ere expressed some time ago, I feel they are as approbate today as ever—perhaps more so. Consider the oyster—a lesson in conduct in its behavior, fter the embryo oyster emerges from the old oyster, it is seven days of freedom. Nevertheless, it must think of e future. At the end of the seven days, it must be at-ched to a hard surface. There it grows. Youth is a free time, but it must think of maturity. At ie end of youth destruction comes to him who has not tached himself to a hard, firm surface of wisdom. The ster does not consider a soft surface—that would mean ;ath. Too many young people want to attach themselves Superintendent's Message t resistance, old oyster soft places in life. This is the way of f Oyster farmers throw back into the water lells after they have been sunned and ie old shells make the very best anchors for the y asters. Youth, too, will prosper if it will fasten to the old id seasoned ideals and principles, those which have en exposed to sun and storm, toughened and hardened, •oven to be of real worth. Times change but principles idure. To each of you, sincere congratulations as you graduate om high school and hearty best wishes fof many happy ;ars ahead. ■ • • A.

Union High School Board The school board is the top governing body in the Addison Northwest School System. It is ultimately the responsibility of the board to sustain the school and provide for its future. This includes such exacting tasks as shaping the curriculum, balancing the budget, and hiring the administrators and faculty. Of course the primary concern of the board is providing students with the best education possible. Since the board serves such an important function, its members are chosen by popular vote. The number of representatives allotted to a town depends on its size. Vergennes and Ferrisburg have two members each: Mrs. Samuel Fishman and Mr. Robert Ryan represent Vergennes; Mrs. Robert Beach and Mr. Clifford Harris, Ferrisburg. Addison, Waltham, and Panton have one each: Mrs. Wilbur Pratt, Mr. Dwight Burnham, and Mr. Kenneth Sullivan respectively. Secretary to the Superintendent MRS. THURBER Secretary to the Principal MRS.
