EDITORIAL The senior year is a busy year, with a yearbook to pub- lish, graduation speeches to write, futura plans to form, and the odds and ends of every flay activities. Off and on throughout the rush to accomplish everything, every senior stops to take stock of his or herself. Up to now it hasn t been necessary to think of what will happen Mafter graduation.” It's been school, vacation, school, vacation,—until now. Suddenly there's a break. What happens after graduation is up to the individuals. So far, what have they done with their lives? Are they satis- fied? Do they feel ready to take responsibility along with every other citizen? By the time many students reach their senior year in high school, their outlook on life has been rather definite- ly formed. Whether realized or not, these past four years of trial and error are the foundation of their lives. Brand- ed as teenagers” they are set apart from everyone else, young and old. As children, their surrounding environment, consisting of parents and friends, was the only direct in- fluence. Upon reaching the teens their small world spreads to envelope past, present, future, and the world! Opinions, ideas, and feelings are based on anything anywhere, distance being no object. No longer secluded, the facts of the world are exposed in sudden light. As graduation day approaches, all sorts of advice is given to the seniors. The chance to put into practice what they have learned is at hand. Perhaps the best advice to give to a senior lies in this verse from Longfellow's poem, The Builders.” Build today, then, strong and sure. With a firm and ample base; And ascending and secure Shall tomorrow find its place.” Pag» 7 Sandy Placey Editor

PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE To you, the Class of 1959, I extend sincere congratulations. May your years in Wells River High School have been both happy and helpful. Whether you now continue your formal education or go into other fields of activity your success will depend, in part at least, on whether or not you have benefited from the opportuni- ties offered in high school to develop mature, understanding, and thinking individuals. The primary objective of your school has been to prepare you to meet the demands of adulthood by giving you these oppor- tunities in your class work and extracurricular activities. You have been provided a scholastic training which means far more than the mere acquisition of knowledge alone. We hope that you have acquired the power to think, not merely to repeat, for America today vitally needs citizens who have gained the ability to reason. By being taught to analyze given problems on the bas- is of all facts and experience available, we hope that you will not accept in unthinking conformity the conclusion offered on any question, but will think out the problem on your own and then compare conclusions. I wish you well. Carroll Stoughton Pag» 6
