like vou to mention that Martin Luther Jr. tried to give his life serving others. . I want you to be able to say that I did to feed the hungry. I want you to be able that I did try in my life to clothe the I want you to say that I did try in my visit those who were in prison. And I you to say that I tried to love and serve humanity.” —Martin Luther King, Jr. Photo by Fred Ward, Black Star Photo by Wide World Photos “Some people see things as they are, and ask why. I dream of things that never were and ask why not. My brother need not be idealized, or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life. He ought to be remembered simply as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it. Those of us who loved him . . . pray that what he was to us, and what he wished for others, will some day come to pass for all the world.” —Senator Edward M.

REFLECTIONS MR. D’ANIELLO I am most pleased tc express my feelings and im¬ pressions about Wellesley Senior High School. I have been most fortunate in having the opportunity to serve the Wellesley community for twelve years. The time spent as a teacher, department head and assistant principal were the most challenging and satisfying of my professional career. I have always been accorded the highest respect from my students and fellow-teachers. The challenge, excitement and satisfaction of my work in Wellesley so stimulated me that I looked forward to each new day, with happy expectation. The interest, co-operation and participation of my students inspired me to apply all of my energy toward the formation of a varied and stimulating educational environment. I can sincerely state that I had never worked in such a fine academic community as that of Wellesley. As the years went by, and I advanced from class¬ room teacher to department head to assistant principal, I saw many changes take place in the areas of cur¬ riculum, methodology and instruction. Wellesley High School curriculum includes over two hundred courses. £r The curriculum expansion over the years has been most impressive, however, I do feel continued progress is necessary in the are as of English, Industrial Arts, Homemaking and Health. Equally impressive are the changes in methodology and instruction. One has simply to make a tour of the building and he will become aware of the many and varied activities taking place-lectures, films, discussions, laboratory work, seminars, demonstrations, etc. Whenever I was sad¬ dened by the problems of my office as an assistant principal, I would visit the academic areas. Once out of my office, my faith and aspirations were fully restored. Many fine things are happening in classrooms and laboratories; education is exciting and enhancing. It is not as bad as our critics state. Although I must rank Wellesley Senior High School as one of the better schools I have worked in—there is still much work to be accomplished. A significant need exists for an expanded faculty. More room is needed for Art, Industrial Arts, Mathematics, and the Library. I am now involved with another faculty, student body and facility. I am enjoying my principalship. I often think of Wellesley and the friends, challenges, and accomplishments. I miss not being a part of such a fine endeavor. I have confidence that Wellesley will continue to progress under new leadership and I shall follow that progress with affectionate concern. I am grateful for the many benefits I have enjoyed in my professional life, a significant one having been my role in the Wellesley Academic Community.
