Ruth Hassett, as salutatorian,
welcomed all parents and friends
to the commencement. Carol Kay
DeMartin, chosing as her sub
ject, “The Sense of Balance,” ex
pressed, in her own words, how
a sense of balance in life w’as
brought about through education.
Joan Byrne, as valedictorian,
gave briefly a resume of the class
and its study in the local school,
of the activities each had par
ticipated, and how’ the members
were likely to remember this era
in their lives.
Dr. Putnam, prefacing his re
marks by making a statement he
seemed to enjoy more and more
these commencements which he
has attenteded in the past 12 or
mon years. He complimented the
area on its interest in these young
people, that night being honored,
for an accomplishment.
1
In his talk to the graduates, he
took the five points brought out
by Carol Kay DeMartin, to urge
adherence in life. He said it was
not necessary for a graduate to
tell or to show his diploma to
tell that he was educated. His
actions told this.
“Your talk, your manners, your
willingness certainly will be the
big factors of success,” he said
in closing.
