You have the special distinction of being graduated at the same time West Hartford celebrates its first Cen- tennial. From the early beginnings of 100 years ago, this community has demonstrated what can be done when people with common ideals work and plan together. Because the early settlers planned wisely, toiled, sacrificed, and had faith in the future, you are privi- leged to live in a community of fine homes, beautiful churches, excellent schools, and a superior system of local government. I trust you will not be satisfied to enjoy the fruits of their labor but will honor them by carrying on that same pioneer spirit Through the service you render and the contributions you make may the world be better for those who follow in your steps .7
