HUTCHISON Principal Emeritus Dear friends of the Class of 1959: In the early days of our country, relatively few students continued NATHAN J. DENNY Principal their education beyond the elementary level, and fewer still, went on to college. The first secondary school, with its basically classical curricu- lum, was vastly different from the modern high school which has a student body representative of all types of young people with varied interests and potentialities, and a curriculum that is geared to prepare them for higher education or to meet their future needs in the various walks of life they may choose to follow. Your class has the distinction, which I arn sure you will always re- member with pleasure, of being the first to graduate from the new Wilbur Cross High School, an institution equipped with the finest physical facilities, an excellent teaching staff, and an educational phi- losophy based on the premise that all of the children of all of the people in our community are entitled to the educational opportunities it offers in preparation for living in our democratic society. So use the knowledge and skills you have acquired, so that you will in some measure contri- bute to the betterment of that society. May God speed you in your effort to do this. Cordially yours, NATHAN J. DENNY Principal

It has been a genuine pleasure and a real privilege to have had some part in your educational growth. My sincere wish is that you, supported by your knowledge and expe- rience, will face the challenges of the world with the courage and determina- tion to be true to the ideals which you accept as your guide to successful living. Your progress will be watched with interest and satisfaction in the honor which you will bring to your alma mater. May God grant you His richest blessings. Cordially, MARGUERITE G. HEALY with every right there is an obligation. While you may recite these rights and obligations every day, the way you conduct yourselves day by day and put these principles into practice will prove more strongly than words your dedication to them. You have brought and are bringing many satisfactions to us educators. Sometimes your exuberance and vitality seem almost too much to cope with, but the rewards in teaching far outweigh the discomforts or disappointments. Our reward is to see you morally sound, emotionally ad- justed, and ready to play a vital role in our community. God Bless You GEORGE BARBARITO 9 GEORGE A. BARBARITO Administrative Assistant
