ADMINISTRATION STAFF l fp and l ff . ,,.. l 5 s The cluttered desk speaks of a busy schedule. What more appropriate symbol could be used to portray the busy life of teachers and administrators. Over this desk has passed many millions of words and many new ideas. Sandwiched into this busy schedule, especially during Senior Year, have been those many recommendations and letters of reference which schools and employers demand. And throughout the entire year around this desk, time has been found to talk about our problems or to pass the pleasant times of the day. A teacher of many years' standing has summed the entire issue up with this statement: lf you teach, never expect to have a clean desk. The Class of 1964 wishes to thank the members of the administration and staff for the help, counsel, and encouragement given us during our years at East Longmeadow High School. 1

THE EAST LONGMEADOW' SCHOOL COMMITTEE Left to right: Mr. Donald Bremner, Mr. James M. Towle, Mr. Gerald Osterman, Mr. Gordon Grady, Mr. Ray S. Jones. EAST LONGMEADOW SCHOOL COMMITTEE The word sacrifice immediately brings to mind a picture of mental or physical hardship. Webster's defines sacrifice as the act of giving up something one has or wants for the good of others. In this case we are speaking more explicitly of self-sacrifice in order to attain an ideal. Because we are a people inestimably blessed with a high stan- dard of living, Americans are considered soft or incapable of real sacrifice. However, it has been proved that this is a fallacious gen- erality inasmuch as Americans have always been responsive to any challenge of their high ideals. Criticism is often leveled at the young people of today. It is said that this is a beatnick generation, that youth is confused. Therefore, the choice of theme for this yearbook speaks well for the members of the Class of 1964 because it shows recognition of the need for an ideal and realization that such cannot be attained without sacrifice. We congratulate you upon your accomplishments to date and wish you every success in the pursuit of your life's goal.

SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE ROBERT J- JARVIS Superintendent of Schools Down through the centuries men and women have been willing to sacri- fice for an ideal. ln pagan societies, this principle was so well established that adults and children felt it a privilege to be chosen as a human sacrifice. History's most classic example of dedication to an ideal is that of Christ, who willingly gave His life that generations to follow would have faith. Despite the cynics of every generation who have scoffed at virtue and idealism, it is the individual who places emphasis on more than selfish gain and glorification who is known and honored by posterity. Nathan Hale, Abra- ham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy will live forever in the hearts of their country- men because they believed in an ideal. Most of us will not be called upon to make the supreme sacrifice for an ideal, but each of us is called upon daily to make similar decisions of lesser magnitude. A small dishonesty or a gain at the expense of a friend to- day may go undetected except for the inevitable decay of moral fiber which is certain to take place. Each violation of ideals makes the next a little easier. Honesty, decency, and other traits of an ideal person cannot be for others but not one's self, they cannot be put on today and shed tomorrow. We must build every day a stronger belief in right for right's sake, the ideals of our nation can be no stronger than the ideals of our individual citizens.
