THE BUILDERS Nothing has served to bring the theme of The Aegis for 1965 home to the Senior Class than the actual building of the new wing for the school. As these pictures show, there is much work to con- struction whether it be a building or an education. That the construction of both this structure and education are closely related is strengthened by this picture of not only those men who planned the physical building but also those who created its edu- cational program. These pictures should preserve the record of actual construction for the new wing and it is only fitting that they should be included in The Aegis as a part of the record of the Senior Class which wishes to remember this building in all its different aspects. Some of the Builders and Planners: From the left, Mr. George Siddell, Mr. Ralph Herrick, Supervisor of Buildings, Mr. Robert Jarvis, Superin- tendent of Schools, Mr. Charles Bowler, Clerk of the Works, Mr. Evert Lindgren, Mr. Carl Lindwall and Mr. Archibald MacNeish of Alderman and MacNeish, Architects and Engineers. 6

That is the noblest art of all the arts! Longfellow As members of the faculty and administration of East Longmeadow High School, you are indeed builders, builders of knowledge, of discipline, and of tradition. Your role is very important for through the consolidation of your many fields of concentration, you are able to guide us up the ladder, placing our hands firmly on each new rung. Under the influence of your instruction and leadership, the summit, the pinnacle of our ladder, broadens and takes on new dimensions. In the years to come, when the attainment of our goal becomes clearer to us, when the summit of our ladder becomes less obscured by the dizziness of its height, we will say in retrospect “they budded better than they knew.” 5
