Mr. James. B. Corscadden In Mr. John A. Creedon Qfitiratimt The yearbook staff, on behalf of the Class of 1970, takes this opportunity to express its appreciation and gratitude, to those four individuals, who have given us their constant devotion, tireless energy, honest friendship, but most importantly, their collective patience, on behalf of our class. And for this reason, this staff dedicates this edition to the men pictured on this page. They have always given of themselves on behalf of us, and English High, and to them, individually, and collectively, we shall be forever grateful, for without them, we never could have lived up to the school motto of Service to mankind, through honor and achievement.” Our thanks to them for a job well done.

OJIu history nf % (Hlass of 19T0 a Ititle fuell kept, fljart a great beat forgotten.” (Sfrestjntan On September 9, 1966, we, the Class of 1970 entered America’s oldest high school for the first time. We began our first year at the freshmen annex on School Street. Our Master-in-charge, Mr. Robert Carroll, proved a firm, but fair leader. We would be the 149th Class out of English High, and very early we realized our role in perpetuating the tradition of this fine institution. Still confused and not yet familiar with the role of high school we were confronted with IBM schedules and course numbers, but before long, we had settled in for our new and unique experience here. In November, our new machine-made” report cards proved we could not doctor up the reports, even had we wanted to, so we resigned ourselves to getting down to the books and studying. Some of the events affecting the year were: The election of Edward Brooke as Senator from Massa¬ chusetts, the first black man to be so honored in over 85 years, the withdrawal of France from N.A.T.O., the flight of Gemini 10, the illness of President Johnson, the death of the Prime Minister of India, and the bombing of Hanoi and Haiphong for the first time, in the continual war in South Vietnam. The ' 66-67 sports’ season proved to be the most successful in recent years. The football team was undefeated and unscored upon but once, when Thanks¬ giving came. We were the victors, 20-18. Our football team won the city title and were ranked fourth in the state. The basketball team was none the lesser: with a 12 2 record we went into the tourney. We trounced Bishop Stang, and overtook top ceded Weymouth, and then in a give-none take-none game with Somerville, lost. All was not in vain, however, for we took the city title and were the first Boston school to reach the Class A semi-finals. Our swim team also took the city title, and along with that, the Eastern Mass Title, and were ranked fourth in the state. As we reached June, our baseball team was right there on top. We could look back on a most productive year.
