In 1918, through references to the Bible, World War I, woodchucks, suspenders, Rutherford B. Hayes, and Theodore Roosevelt, Stanley Enoch Rodgers Jr. calls upon his fellow students at Oak Bluffs High School to strive for upstanding moral character.
We just received these three fragile pages entitled “Address to Under Graduates” written by Mr. Rodgers. Later in life, Mr. Rodgers moved to Minnesota. Now deceased, the letter comes courtesy of one his fellow parishioners at a church in Eagle Lake, MN. The donor suggested it would be great to be read at the 2018 commencement.
