SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE: TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 1958: May I extend my congratulations to each member of the graduating class of 1958 and to the parents who, through their cooperation with the school personnel, have made the successful completion of your elementary and secondary education possible. In our former yearbook messages we have stressed the fact that the very word commencement signifies a be¬ ginning rather than an end. It should be a beginning of your further quest for knowledge and truth. We have tried to give you the tools, the ideals and the attitudes to aid you in the future years. If we have been successful, you will not stop here, but will be eager to increase your knowl¬ edge and understanding. You are on the threshold of a tremendous new age. Atomic power is still in its infancy; scientists are reaching out into space. Many educators are beginning to stress the value of a scientific education io the exclusion of the humanities and the cultural subjects. We in this country believe in educating the whole student; this has been our objective in the Woburn Schools. We have perfect confidence that in the future you will be able to take your place among the other members of your genera¬ tion in solving the problems of a new age. It is our sincere prayer that you will never cease to ask for Divine Guidance; that you will continue to learn and develop your native abilities to their maximum, and that you will contribute your share, however large or small, to¬ ward the ultimate goal—a better world. Dr. J. Frank Hassett Superintendent of Schools Dr. Hassett ' s dictation keeps his secretary. Miss McGowan, busy. 10
