SUPERINTENDENT ' S MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF 1977 Your class is leaving Wachusett at the end of an era in American education - the era of innovation, relevance, and options. The combination of a sagging economy and sagging scores on national tests of academic performance have caused the citizenry to demand Back to basics, a reemphasis on the 3 R s. We are thankful that the pendulum has not swung so wildly at Wachusett; we have been more conservative than many systems, and we have far less distance to go back to basics. I hope that as you continue your education - for you all will do that, whether it be in a school or on a job, - you will try to achieve those attributes which have always marked the well- read, educated (though maybe not schooled) person: the ability to read’and write and speak the English language clearly and effectively; a global viewpoint extending beyond your own locale and time, including the ability to put yourself in the other person ' s shoes, to see how he or she perceives the situation convictions concerning current moral issues; the habit of treating others as you would have them treat you; and finally some particular knowledge or skill which is necessary and in demand, which enables you to earn your own way, if not produce your own food and shelter. Even as we continually reevaluate how well we have served you, we hope we have done well by you, and we wish you well. Edward p y. DR. EDWARD YAGLOU, Superintendent FORREST GILMORE, Director of Special Educa¬ tion PETER FARRELLY, Associate Superintendent DAVID JOHNSON, Business Manager WILLIAM CAREY, Assistant Superintendent jstssm. •a Superintendent’s Secretarial Staff 4

Within its pages, years from now, you will rediscover classmates only dimly remebered; events that, in their time, were highlights of your life; and a picture here and there will cause you to remember a whole panorama of happenings. Yes, memories are precious reminders of our past, of good times, of struggles endured and won, and of goals we set for some future time. Memories are important to us because they allow us to lay out the fabric of our lives in a discernible pattern. But let us not forget that memories are but a long-range mitror of our day to day existence and that the qualities of these memories will be determined by how we lived each day. My central message to you is expressed beautifully in the following passage from the Sanskrit : Look to this day ! For it is life, the very life of life. In its brief course lie all the verities and realities of your existence The Bliss of growth; the Glory of action; The Splendor of beauty; For yesterday is already a dream, and tomorrow is only a vision; But today, well lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness. And every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day ! My hope for you is that you look to each day for its challenges and its rewards so that your tomorrows can look at their yesterdays with pride and happiness. I wish you well in the years ahead in whatever endeavors you choose for yourself. Please keep in touch. Very fxuly your , Harold M. Lane, Jr. Principal 5
