The Playbill Diarist

To The

You are well started on the road to possess­

ing broad knowledge of self and of the world,

disciplined intelligence, integrity and humane

values. You have worked together as a team

and have earned the respect of your teachers.

We hope that you will continue the fine pre­

cedent set by former graduates by continuing

your friendships with one another and with the

faculty during the years to come. We are look­

ing forward to frequent visits to Franklin

School and hope that the Class of ’58 will form

an active alumni group.
