F ORE WORD In Greek mythology, the aegis was the breastplate of Zeus. As the commander of the forces of nature, he rode in his thundercar wearing his aegis of stormclouds, hurling the thunderbolt and the lightning and scattering protective drops of aegis on his subjects. Through the ages, aegis came to symbolize both the warrior's shield and the protection which it lent to others. During high school days, we have worked together under the aegis of Springfield and East Longmeadow high schools. Grateful for their protective guidance, we now separate into one hundred thirty-five different ways. Each graduate must now fashion for himself his own shield of knowledge and experience strong enough to meet the challenges of his life. May each one, according to his talents and abilities, decorate his shield with his accomplishments and, by the qualities of his character, keep its lustre bright. Grateful acknowledgement is given to all who have spent so many hours creating this first Aegis, Volume I of the history of East Longmeadow High School. William C. Burgess Editor-in-Chief
