To the Members of the Class of 1960: Three Septembers have passed since we first organized as a class. Double sessions were effected that first September, and we looked forward with uncertain anticipation to its effect on our ensuing three years at Danbury High School. It has been an un- usually eventful three years, during which we lived with the double session, lost one wonderful principal with the untimely death of Mr. Raymond Claflin, gained another with the advent of Mr. Patrick Murnane, and experienced the direct impact of the space on our own academic life. Yet through it all you have individually and collectively lived up to all my expecta- tions. Despite these complexities you emerged as an outstanding class in and out of the classroom. You have been understanding, cooperative, and loyal to your instructors and leaders. I am confident that the communities in which you will live and serve, the colleges and universities that you will attend, the industries of which you will become a part will benefit from your knowledge, your industry, your understanding. It has been a short three years, but I feel that my life has been enriched by our close association. May you live forever and I never dief cimaca. Mr. Emanuel A. Merullo
