His message to the seniors of Bourne High School in the 1958 Canal Currents yearbook: To the Graduates From the Superintendent of Schools The Pillars of Democracy are dependent upon the education of its people. With this in mind you have been accumulating specialized information and technical skills. Every effort has been made to help you develop clear thinking uninfluenced by prejudice of any nature, to be sensitive to the welfare of others, and to be tolerant of all classes, creeds and races. There is a Latin phrase, "Tuem Est.", which translated means, "It's up to you." It is up to you to demonstrate that a united, a courageous, and an enlightened youth will preserve the principles of our Democracy. |
