Head master's Message I think you realize, along with me, what a remarkable year we are having together at Parker. Your successes in college admissions, in athletics and in setting a high tone of enthusiasm for school life is a significant tribute to each of you and a joy to behold. In all things you share a sense of friendliness, excitement, joy and an occasional tear. This permeates Parker. It affects me, the faculty, staff and most of all the student body. For you members of the Class of '75, I suspect you are anxious about the tomorrows and look forward to the good things that lie before you. And so it goes each year with another group of Parker graduates. But you as a group and individually represent something a bit unusual as you relate to Parker and your handling of today. It takes years for a new school to develop this kind of spirit. It develops, like character and breeding, by example and you are providing the example to those graduates of Parker who must follow in your footsteps. Forgive me for this sentimental journey and salute to you. However, the fact remains, the Class of '75 is unique in my experience as Pa.rker's Headmaster. You will be missed and I didn't want you to go without my having a chance to say, Thank you! D. C. Crone

I proudly present CAVALCADE '75, Into it, we have poured many hours of work, conflict, compromise and creativity. I hope that we have continued the improve- ment we've seen in the CAVALCADE over the years. We have added eight pages, bringing the total to 88. We have a larger staff, have updated our approach to design, and the photography is better than ever. It is a joy and relief to unveil the end product. I opened my message with a quote that best illustrates the theme I chose for this book--individuality. Parker as a small school, strives for high academic standards, but it also looks to the individual. Where there are only 260 students, each student has a chance to gain an identity, not just to be one of the masses. We are given the opportunity to participate: in sports, student government, the publications, drama and many other facets of student life. That is what this book is about-- the importance of the person: his moods, interests and expression. Many- people helped finish this book with their encouragement and support. 'Foo many to name,staff, friends and faculty, but they know who they are, and I thank them very much. To close, I know that the CAVALCADE is dedicated to a great teacher and good friend of the school, Mr..- Frost, but in a larger sense it is also dedicated to the spirit of the institution that I have known and loved for nine years. Laurie Mansfield Editor's Message To nobody-but-yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else--means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting. --e.e. cummings.
