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.

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

i ,, ti X I it i x U gl MR. RALPH L. SHINDLER, Principal East Longmeadow High School Sacrifice for an ideal. What theme could be more appropriate in times when it seems that so many want so much for so little. To accomplish anything worthwhile we must believe in it with our whole might. We must be willing to commit ourselves to a cause and become a slave to an ideal. We must cultivate our ideals. The courage and strength to stand up for what we believe must be developed to a point that fear of what others think will not make us back down. Behind so many of the ideals we behold today lie untold tales of sacrifice. Be- hind the freedoms and the privileges we cherish lie the memory of men who worked, sacrificed, and fought for ideals and beliefs that were dear to them. Life is not always easy. It is filled with problems that must be met with courage, strength and faith. Do not be afraid of what lies ahead. Cherish the ideals that are important to you and be willing to make sacrifices for them. Be willing to accept the responsibilities that always accompany the privileges you receive and above all de- velop the desire to win and to excel in whatever you do. May God bless you. Ralph L. Shindler Principal
