As I read through the pages of this book, I see Jarvis at work,
Jarvis at Play, Jarvis in action, and Jarvis in contemplation.
You are Jarvis, its dedicated staff and its industrious, conscientious students.
It has been interesting and encouraging to
watch you through the 1964-65 year, growing in stature and
ability to see and solve your own problems. This, to me, is a big
part of education. There is no mass education! There is only
education of the individual. The educational system can supply the building, and the
teachers. Teachers and books can supply the facts, but
only you can put them to work, to improve your understanding of
life around you and to equip you to solve
those problems of everyday living which bring happiness, satisfaction, and peace.
In no other age has there been a greater need for
sound thinking. No group of young people have had a
better opportunity to obtain knowledge, to put into
practice those ideas and ideals which are so greatly
needed in this fact [sic] changing world. I envy your youth
and opportunities.
You at Jarvis this years [sic] have held high those traditions
which have made Jarvis great. I am proud of the
contribution you have made in every phase of school
life.
May I congratulate the editors and their assistants for
the efforts they have put forth in making this another
outstanding Magnet.
