President Kennedys Message COMMITTEES: JOHN F. KENNEDY FOREIGN RELATIONS MASSACHUSETTS Lasor AND PuBLic WELFARE Menited States Henate : WASHINGTON, D.C. October 3, 1960 Miss Carol Ann Maucione 189 Forge Road Westport, Mass. Dear Miss Maucione;: In response to your request for a message to be printed in your yearbook, I would make the following suggestions to the students of Westport High School: Take advantage of every possible opportunity to increase your knowledge of the world in which you live, and of the ideas which have contributed to the development of our civilization as it now exists. For you will soon be discovering that you can take a direct hand in many ways in shaping and influencing the sort of world we live in. This is particularly true of our country. While it is 4 fact that in a democracy the citizen is paramount, it is the in- formed citizen on whom we must increasingly depend for guidance and leadership. Whether or not your formal schooling ends with high school graduation -- and if at all possible it should not end then -- your education must continue for the rest of your life. We need to develop to the fullest the talents of every citizen; for ours is a complex society requiring many specialized skills. But specialization in a particular field is not enough; you must learn a great deal about a great many other things, too. Above all, you must learn how to track down the facts you need in order to reach informed opinions on the issues which confront you as a citizen. Furthermore, if you-are able to express those opinions clearly and persuasively, and if you can also contribute new and useful ideas to your fellow-citizens, you will certainly find a place in the vanguard of leadership in our society -- and that is where I expect many of you will eventually be. i SincereVY, ae ‘JOHN F.
