TO THE CLASS OF 1964: An increasingly important function of the school in the educational process is to awake intellectual curiosity and a desire to learn so that students will continue to seek knowledge for themselves. Thus, your graduation from high school may be regarded as a transition to a self-directed pursuit of new ideas, greater understanding, and depth of learning. In this rapidly changing world education must be a lifelong and continuing endeavor. If, even in a small measure, your teachers have succeeded in in- stilling within you this spark to ignite a thirst for greater knowledge, the role of the school has been fulfilled. May I congratulate you upon this, your graduation from high school, and wish you much happiness for yourself through service to others. EDWARD B. FILLBACK Superintendent of Schools Middletown, Conn. 6 The doors to Woodrow Wilson High School open- ed for the first time in September of 1931. Among the members of the first faculty were Dr. Armstrong and Miss Taylor. I would like to comment briefly about both in terms of their individual contributions not only to you, the Class of 1964, but also to all prior graduating classes. Miss Taylor and Dr. Armstrong have devoted a lifetime to teaching at Woodrow Wilson High School. They played a very important and continu- ing part in the development and improvement of the standards which have made Wilson what it is today. Their interest and confidence in the individual stu- dents with whom they have come in contact have been recognized as is evidenced by comments made by many of their former students. Their leaving Wil- son will create a void which will not be easy to fill. I know that you join with me in wishing them the very, very best as they too graduate” from Wilson. CHAUNCEY J. COPELAND Principal
