It is with pleasure that I accept this opportunity to address you seniors. 1 feel that I know you more intimately than many, for I have worked rather closely with you for the past three years. You have grown and matured since those early gangling freshman days to your present entrance to the threshold of adulthood. You have run the gamut of your trade, athletics, academics and many other class activities and come through it all, if changed, better for having done so. There have been disappointments because of rules and regulations, misunderstandings with classmates, teachers and administrators; and yet you have sur- vived the ordeal. You will, as time passes, I think, understand more and more the reasons for why things have been as they were through your school years, and you will, I hope, appreciate the work, heartache and expense that has gone into your education thus far. It may be that when you are parents, you will keep in mind that there are two sides to every question and that the wise one is he who gets both sides of the story before acting, rather than acting on impulse. Perhaps in quiet moments, some of you are wonder- ing how the time has slipped away and you are graduating. Time is like that. Make the best of your abilities and aptitudes while you can; don ' t wait till next week or next month or next year. It is hoped that you will use what you have learned wisely, and attempt to bring credit to your family, school, and town in the years ahead. May I congratulate you all on a diploma well earned and wish you all success and happiness in the future. David Callahan

To the graduates of 1976, the third graduating class of Whittier Regional Vocational School, go special congratula- tions from me. The graduating class of 1976 is the first class to have completed three years within their chosen fields. This class has done much to help Whittier Regional be- come one of the best schools in the State. This student body, through the guidance of the teachers, has trans- formed a building from cement and blocks to a school center with much warmth and learning excitement. Your experience at Whittier has not been the easiest, but you have laid the groundwork toward making a better ed- ucational facility for all of the future students that will come to Whittier. Thanks and congratulations to each and every one of you. Look to your school for support as you make your way within the world of work. Your work habits and good performance will enhance the image of your school for years to come. — Donald MacDonald It is a pleasure to extend my most sincere wishes for success to all of you in this third graduating class at Whittier. You have worked hard, and now you have skills to offer your communities in the world of work. May your enthusiasm in your chosen career bring you much happiness, and our pride in you reflect the re- sults of what your fine teachers have taught you. — Mrs. Florence Muldoon 18
