Woodstock Academy I960 Dedication To Mrs. Robertson, for her con- stant guidance, the Class of '60 dedicates this issue of The Spire.

That she might admired be. SHAKESPEARE Principali There is a vast difference between being just an Ameri- can citizen and being a responsible citizen. Self-gov- ernment, private ownership, religious freedom, education - all call for participation. Since you live in the most prom- ising and progressive age of all mankind, the hope of greater things yet to come rests upon the shoulders of you, our graduates. Upon your ability to accept and uphold the responsibility of being a citizen depends the future of our way of life.
