if meg---f Mr. Bernard McMahon, Principal Congratulations and best wishes to the graduating class of 1969. One of the first milestones in life has been achieved. There are many rungs in the ladder of success and of life, some of which will be more difficult to climb than others. There are many among you to which success will come easy. Others will have to exert every ounce of effort and still find that they have fallen short of the goal by a small margin. Success is based on eltort and accomplishment. When a person seriously has given his all to that which he undertakes, he is successful in his own right. Life is a real challenge, spiritually, morally, socially, and professionally. Life can be worth living to the individual that has the desire to live a good life. What a person will put into life is exactly what he will get out of it. My sincere best wishes to you graduates for much success in the future. T969 will be recorded as the year of dissent on college and high school campuses. If one looks at dissent as a difference of opinion or a dis- agreement, nothing is wrong and no harm is done. However, if dissent is implemented with vio- lence, personal assault and the destruction of property, no useful purpose is served. The per- petraters of such violence will fail to accomplish their goals and ultimately assure their self-de- struction. Further, they promote hypocrisy and duplicity by their basic selfishness and the denial of the rights, privileges, opinions and voice of others. Today, more than ever in the history of our na- tion and the world, we need good, sound, able leaders. Do your best to develop leadership traits in your chosen field. The least you should do is carry out your individual responsibilities. The worst you can do is be a social drop-out. The choice is yours! xl 1? 19 Mr. Harold Garrett, Vice Principal

To the Class ot 1969: The School Committee ioins with me in saluting one of the truly tine classes in Wilmington's long history of graduating classes. Your performance in the classroom, on the athletic fields, and in the community at large was notable for its dedication, its sin- '4'U-'-47' cerity, and its graciousness. You have achieved social and economic goals in the past four years that were virtually unknown to the classes prior to 1965. We extend our best wishes for happiness and success in the years ahead.
