To help our students to understand the word in its best uses-- literature; to parry it in its worst uses-- propoganda; to create new worlds with the word or to enlarge the inner -wo rid-- through reading and writing; to grasp the hand of our fellow man in word and play- - through speaking and drama: These are the purposes of education in the mother tongue among all free and civilized societ- ies, and so it is our aim in the schools of West Bridgewater. Our fair discourse hath been as sugar making the hard way sweet and delectable. Richard II (II, III). The pleasure and exitement of words is that they are living and generating things. Christopher Fry.

PRINCIPAL TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 1976: Never in your life time have you had brought to your attention with such acclaim, the heritage of your forefathers. For the past year or so you have constantly been exposed to celebrations, speeches and reenactments commemorating this nation ' s past. The emphasis that has been placed on the Bicentennial Commemoration has provided for all of you the opportunity to rekindle your pride in this great country ' s past and present. It is ironic and also sad that as you celebrate this nation ' s 200th Birthday that solutions to solving many problems of the past seem to have escaped your present needs. Undoubtedly, as you embark on your future course, the chal- lenge is going to be greater to you than it was for your predecessors. You need to be better prepared and equiped to realize the develop- ment of a wholesome and meaningful life. At West Bridgewater High School you have had a start in meeting this goal. I sincerely believe that if you look beyond those things which are strictly material in nature, that you will find in your heritage basic value systems that will be beneficial to your future. There is always the temptation to discard the past. DON ' T! It may hold the key to your future. Congratulations and sincere best wishes upon your graduation. Yours truly, S.
