To the Students of Wood-Ridge High School: With the publication of the first issue of the Dial another milestone in the process of establishing a new high school has been passed. You have had many happy experiences and pleasant memories in connection with the events which have transpired during this period, and it is only fitting that a record of these events should be brought together to form a permanent record of your high school days. This inaugural issue of the Dial is one of which you, the students of Wood-Ridge High School, may be justly proud. The staff of the Dial accepted the responsibility for compiling and pub- lishing this record and is to be congratulated on the splendid results obtained. A fine precedent has been establishedg may all future editions of the high school yearbook be of the same high caliber. -Maurice A. C 0 p pam Page Seven

Page Six . I To the Graduates of 1940: It is a pleasure and an honor to be able to offer, through the pages of the first Wood-Ridge High School Annual, congratulations and commenda- tions to the first graduating class of this new institution. For seven years I have been in rather close association with your mem- bers. I have pleasurably, and sometimes anxiously followed your achievements from one year to the next since you were in the sixth grade. I know you all so well that it is with a feeling of confidence in your future achievements that I bid you farewell. Some of you will be going to higher institutions of learningg most of you will be concerned with the immediate problem of making your own living. Whzitever the near future demands of you, I am certain that all of you are fully prepared to meet the exigency of the occasion. It is with sincere regret that I look forward to next year without your friendly greetings in the high school corridorsg it will be with keen interest, however, that I follow the fortunes of each of you in your work beyond our school. The fact that you are the first graduating class to leave this high school should place such a feeling of responsibility upon you that its realization is ever present with you. If in the years to come I can look back through the pages of this first Wood-Ridge High School Year Book and point to each 1940 senior picture and say, this boy or this girl has lived up to the finest traditions we all had hoped to build in our new schoolf' then I can feel that our years of association and study together have not been wasted. -F.
