During your years with us, you have stored the richest of educational experi- ences and of pleasures, too. In your many years in the future, you will re- call your school years as the best ones of your lives. May you never forget the friends you made and the fine teach- ers you had in your classes. May God Bless You on this your Graduation Day and in the many years ahead. STANLEY W. WRIGHT Superintendent of-Schools SCHOOL COMMITTEE MEMBERS, 1957-1958 Dr. Charles A. Diamond, Chairman Dr. Pliny Norcross Mr. Lawrence D. Brady Dr. James J. Sady Mr. Douglas C. Childs Mr. Philip R. Smith PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE As you venture forth into life you must realize decisions and choices can- not be avoided. You can make them intelligently and in a way that will make your lives count. The Utreasuresn that you have accumulated in your twelve years of schooling should enable you to gain security in life's unpredictable course. There are three precious things which you should hold fast and prize. The first is gentlenessg the second is fru- galityg the third is humility, which keeps you from putting yourselves before oth- ers. At the same time you must never overlook the fact that the basic human need is not the security of the body, but of the spirit. The psalmist of old knew the impor- tance of gaining true wisdom when he wrote: How happy is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains under- standing! For her income is better than income of silver, and her revenue than gold. She is more precious than corals, and none of our heartls desires can com- pare to her. Long life is in her right hand, in her left riches and honor. Her ways are paths of pleasantness, and all her paths are peacef' CHRIS GRAMMATICAS Principal CHRIS GRAMMATICAS Principal of West Springfield High School B.S..
