 FOREWORD A yearbook should depict the events of a school year—especially the joyous events. We, the staff of the 1963 Comet, hope that you will find myriad pleasures within the covers of this yearbook. We hope that as you leaf through the pages, your lips will stretch into a wist- ful smile. If you do smile, if you fondly remember a friend, if you think upon any of the many facets of your high school life, then we, the staff, shall have succeeded. It is impossible to express in mere words our grati- tude for the unstinting efforts and notable achievements of the boys in the print shop under the direction of Mr. Adams. Thanks are due to our advisor Mr. Clarke, who has also unselfishly devoted his time and talents to the completion of this yearbook. Yet there is, of course, the rest of our lives. As we look toward the future we must always keep in mind ad astra per aspera, i.e., to the stars through ditficulties. As this, the 1963 Comet Yearbook, the staff is attempting to show you the way to tho stars on the tail of a comet. As you leap from faculty to seniors and to the other con- stellations, we hope that some of the years’ stardust stays with you. 4« ■ L- 4

A DEDICATION: TO THE MEMBERS OF THE TEACHING PROFESSION At first this dedication may seem completely out of harmony with our theme, but there is a startlingly justified explanation. Teachers perform the astronomical feat of educating hundreds of students in a year, thousands in a lifetime. The knowledge and skill which a teacher imparts to his students can give them power to soar to the very stars. The profession is constantly lauded by many and often lamented by the teachers themselves, but one fact remains eternal as the stars: It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge. —Albert Einstein, Motto, for the astronomy building of Junior College at Pasadena, Cali- fornia.
