GRADUATION NIGHT PROGRAM OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUCCESS IN HIGH SCHOOL Members of the Board of Education, Teachers, Parents, and Friends: On behalf of the Class of 1957, I wish to welcome you to the last exercises held by this class. I omght is a turning point in our lives. After tonight each of us will go his separate way; some will continue with their education, others will go into business or industry, and still others will go into the armed services of our country. But no matter what pat 1 each of us follows, our success will depend a great deal on the opportunities we grasped here in Windsor Locks High School. Each one of us has had four years of what might be called specialized training. We chose the course of subjects most helpful to us in preparation for our future goals. Our school offered the courses needed, and it was up to us to do our best. For four years we studied and learned, and after tonight we will put this knowledge to use no matter what our goals. But a high school offers more than courses of study. The opening of this large new school brought many additional experiences and opportunities unknown in the old high school. These opportunities were opened to us so that we might gain in meeting responsibility, develop initiative and sportsmanship, and better recognize and utilize our gifts of personality and intellect. Activities like the National Honor Society and the Student Council are carried on by the students with the help of their advisors, but the success of such activities depends upon the students. This, of course, is true of all aspects of high school life. The school can offer the best in teachers, books, curriculum, and physical plant, but the success of the whole rests for the most part upon the wholehearted endeavor of the students. The student who gains most from opportunity is the one who has given most. Tonight as we look back on our four years in Windsor Locks High School, we remember the work done in the classrooms and out, the good times we have had and the friends we have made. We have tried to work hard to reach this point. After tonight we shall know better just how hard we did work. Therefore, we should like to address a few words to the under-classmen who still have opportunities in high school before them. We hope that they will realize it is never too late, or too early, to start preparation for success. We wish them to remember that tomorrow will be the result of today; there may be luck in gaining opportunity, but there is more than luck to making it ones own. To them we say: Set your goal now and remember that success comes only with diligence on your part. Elizabeth Anderson ’57 LD CNI Page
