To the Class of 1965: One of the greatest joys that any of us can experi- ence is the feeling of accomplishment when a worth- while goal has been reached. Your graduation from high school marks such an occasion and is a significant achievement in which you may take justifiable pride. It brings to a close one period of intellectual growth and development which has in some measure prepared you for responsible citizenship. Education, however, does not end with graduation. It is a life-long process for which the skills, knowl- edge, understandings, and appreciations you have gained thus far serve as a foundation for continued growth. Build on this foundation to improve your- self and the changing world in which we live. Congratulations to you and best wishes for the years ahead. EDWARD B. FILLBACK Superintendent of Schools Recently I was privileged to be a guest at the twentieth reunion of a class which had graduated from Woodrow Wilson. As I sat at the head table and looked at these Alumni, I was very proud of what I saw. There were the boys and girls with whom I had been associated now grown into fine men and women, holding positions of responsibility and leadership in their jobs and their communities, whose children are in many cases students at Wilson. Men and women who now understand what Woodrow Wilson, their Alma Mater, represented, the things which it had tried to do for them, and its hope and ambitions for their future success. They, too, were proud-— proud that they were Wilsonites. As you, the members of the Class of 1965, meet in your reunions, I am sure that you also will be a source of pride to your invited guests, that you will have a fuller understanding of what Woodrow Wilson has been striving to do, and that you, too, will be proud to be Wilsonites.
