DEDICATIGN ROBERT J. JARVIS Superintendent of Schools To the man who was seen least in the high school we probably owe the most. The untiring work of our Superintendent of Schools has reflected his interest in each of us and the progress of education in East Longmeadow. Mr. Jarvis was graduated from Technical High School, Springfield, and received his bachelors and masters degrees from Tufts University. He has done further study at Boston University, Harvard, and the University of Massachusetts. He became superintendent in East Longmeadow in August of 1953. He is ailife member of the P.T.A., a member of the National Education Association and the American Association of Superintendents. As a memento of his many years of service to us and our town we the Class of 1963 dedicate this Volume of the AEGIS with grateful appreciation and our sincerest hopes for many years of continued service.

SUPERINTENDENTS MESSAGE The Remembrance of the Past is a fitting theme for your issue of the AEGIS because it is an historical record of your senior year at East Longmeadow High School which you will treasure more and more as time goes on. Although eagerness to face the future with courage and deter- mination is a characteristic of American youth which has made our nation great, the importance of the past should not be minimized. The past teaches us that success is often achieved only after repeated failures and hardships. Brief thought leads us to the conclusion that our vast store of present day knowledge is a result of the discoveries and lessons of a prior generation. School is an excellent place in which to learn by first hand experience. It is our hope that you have gained a basic knowledge in several academic fields and that you have learned certain truths which have been proved by generations of men and women. Among these are: to have friends you must be a friend, to be trusted you must be trustworthy, to be true to thyself and it must follow as night the day that you cannot be untrue to any man. Your fine record of achievement, both as a class and individually, makes it worthy of note. We know from the history of the past that you will go forward into the future to bring honor and prestige to yourselves, your family, and your community. ROBERT J. JARVIS Superintendent of Schools
