Wells High School SOUTHBRIDGE Massachusetts MRS. KATHRYN BEAUREGARD We, the Class of 1951, are particularly favored to have the honor of dedicating our yearbook to Mrs. Kathryn Beauregard, our faculty adviser. She has given valuable service to the school as a sterling teacher and has entered with enthusiasm into our sports and our fun. Our lives have been the richer for knowing her. JAMES M. ROBERTSON Principal THE HOPE OF OUR WORLD Today, as we stand on the brink of a most con- fused and uncertain world, many of us are prone to view the immediate and distant futures dismally. Our outlooks reflect pessimism. Our hopes seem inadequate to meet the financial, social and moral trends apparent. Such reasoning seems wholly indefensible to me; such reasoning reeks with defeatism; such reasoning is entirely at odds with the spirit of our fathers and forefathers. For we in America have within our grasp, the hope of the world. We have HEALTH. Here in America we find the most honored of medical associations; we see public health programs in every state, city, and town; we have institutions struggling twenty-four hours a day to discover preventative measures and curative means in a constant struggle against disease, injury and death. Research laboratory scientists and technicians work round-the-clock to produce facilities to make our lives healthier and happier. In short, we are by the large a healthy nation; the healthiest on the globe. The Bible tells us that Cleanliness is next to Godli- ness. Our America by every means at her disposal is attempting to reach this ideal. We have EDUCATION. No country on earth has made education as public as the United States of America. Education, started in Massachusetts over three hundred years ago, has grown into a full time profession. Every child in the United States is exposed to some kind of institutionalized learning. Public schools, private schools, state supported universities and privately endowed colleges have made us the most literate nation in the world. We are fast proving by our advances in the scientific, literary, trade and pro- fessional worlds the truth of the old adage: A little learning is a dangerous thing. Our philosophy today is that education never ceases. With such a philosophy, our country must go forward, not backward to the Dark Ages of ignorance and superstition. Perhaps the greatest of all blessings is religious tolerance. Side by side in America works the Jew, The Catholic, the Protestant. Side by side these three great religious faiths present a united front, staring down the bigotry and prejudice exhibited by many nations today. America has an abundance of natural resources. Granted that we are not entirely self sufficient in this respect, we do recognize the fact that abundance there is, and if that abundance ever becomes a scarcity, science is waiting. Scientists are constantly seeking methods by which good synthetics can be produced, if and when a need arises. These United States of America have strength of military, naval and air power. The combined strength of these three great branches of our armed forces serves a two-fold purpose. They stand as a bulwark of home defense; they operate as a unit to prevent ag- gression against freedom loving nations less fortunate than the United States. Finally, we have today ' s generation of young people. Young men and women comparable to the members of the Class of 1951 of the Mary E. Wells High School are ready and eager to build a better world. America ' s younger generation, healthier than those of yesterday, betted educated than their fore- fathers, more tolerant than their elders — these young men and young women — you, our graduates — you are the hope of our world!
