Ralph Sautter, a new member of the Westwood (Mass.) School Committee, said of today’s students, “For the most part, they probably are a better generation than the one I was part of. I think they’re more intelligent, more interested, more concerned and potentially more effective.” A story about Ralph in the “Quincy, Mass., Patriot Ledger” described him as a “financial watchdog,” based on his five years’ experience on the town’s finance committee, including two years as chairman. Ralph even vowed that he could tolerate long hair. “If that’s the symbol they must wear to identify with youth movements, I guess I wouldn’t object,” he stated. But he took exception with some aspects of the youth movement. “I’m not convinced that demonstration and protest are effective,” he said, adding that this type of action “just alienates and widens the gulf between the so-called silent generation and youth.” Ralph is a vice president of State Street Bank and Trust Company in Boston.
