SCnOOl mouse on the nil at whose
base runs the ripping waters of
Buffalo Creek were here at a
time when this was almost will
derness and the stately oaks,
poplars and pines reared their
heads into the heavens and the
morning sun kissed the dewdrops
from their branches, the birds
sang carols on their boughs and
the chimunks and squirrels scamp
cred to and fro and were happy
that we lived in a land that had
not been married by the onrush
of civilization.
AS time passed and we grew
into manhood and womanhood,
the march of progress wended its
way into our community and the
ring of the woodlands axe could
be heard on every hillside and
the Whirr of the saw and the puff
ing of the engines as they manu-
featured the giant logs into lum
Der to build coy homes and fine
furniture, the old order of things
had to change.
The little log school house, that
was the father of free schools in
Dickinson County, had to give
way to the march of progress and
its walls have crurnbled back to
mother earth and the rolling play
ground where used to ring the
merry laughter of happy throng
Of boys and girls is now covered
with the bush, bramble and briar
and things there are now only a
memory
Later other schools were built
IN the county and all had chance
for limited education and then
the iron horse came belching
through Sandy Ridge and the
black gold to flow from the mines
to move the wheels of progress,
and we have seen the little log
school houses, with their fond
memories, give way to those of
brick and steel and this county is
new county with new people
with new aspirations and the old
order of things is gone.
AS pupils of the old Buffalo
School, we are proud that we
were born in a time of peace and
that the world was not rocked by
the ravages of war and we hope
that peace will be restored in
our time and that the truths
taught us on the hill above the
Buffalo by the teachers who la
bored there will once more pre-
vail and we will have happy,
contented world.
Schoolmates and friends, let us
be proud that we live in an age
and country where one can move
as he pleases and worship a mer
ciful God according to the die
tates of that innerself that cause
men to do and to die, and, school
mates, don't forget that the prin-
ciples and teaching we received
on the old Buffalo Hill laid broad
and deep the foundation of our
age, and all succeeding ages, and
lets inculcate them into those that
will follow after, and all will be
we'll.
AS the years roll by and we
one by one pass into eternity, then
it is responsibility that falls up
on the shoulders of you young
men and young women, and the
children that follow after you, to
carry on the traditions and work
that we as pupils of the Buffalo
School started and we hope that
as we pass out of the picture that
this work has been left in respon
sible hands.
May you young people live to
see as much progress in the next
rs years as has taken place in the
rs years since the little grey
school house was built upon the

This is attributed to the fact that

children preferred Milton Berle,
westerns, and wrestling matches.
Now after two years Of teacher
guidance in some of these
schools, Living Wonders" a
natural science program, is the
children's favorite instead of
Milton Berle.
A panel of discussants chal-
lenged the parents present as to
what they were going to do
about these facts. Wilmer C..
Swartley, general manager of
radio and television station
WBZ, said, "You have absolute
control over our programs, If

opinions. We are in business to
please you. We are not too
pleased ourselves with some of
the mass likes and diSlikes. But
you can't blame us If your child
watches teleYision 81 hours a
week." he said. "You wouldn't
buy a box of candy and let your
child sit down and eat all he
wanted, would you?" he said.
Its up to you to discipline him
about televiSion also"
1t was suggested to those pres
ent that they cooperate with
parent-teacher associations in a
move to promote better televi-
sion education for their children.
These parents and teachers
could spend a certain number
Of hours a month listening and
evaluating what they have seen.
Among those expressing an
opinion about the TV channel
for education we're the Boston
City Council, the Lowell InSti-
tute Cooperative Broadcasting
Council, all the universities and
colleges in the area, the State
Department Of Education, the
Boston puolic schools, parent
teacher groups, newspaper pub
fishers, and radio broadcasting
outlets.
"As alert citizens we must be
concerned with the impact that
radio and television is making
on family life and in our com
munities," said Mrs. Coleman.
Many parents and educators
feel that radio and televiSion
have tremendous potentialitieS
as educational and cultural
media" she continued. 1--WE, as
citizens, are directly responsible
for influencing televiSion and
