The one hundredth anniver- sary of HHS marks a great milestone in the history of the city of Holyoke. lt represents a tcentury of secondary education, which has created an enviable 'reputation for our school sys- tem. This century also repre- sents one hundred years of sac- rifice on the part of the citi- zens of Holyoke, who finance our schools. For a class the size of ours, additional sacrifice has Wbeen necessary: over half a Wmillion dollars has been spent on the class of 1964 during the llast four years alone. ln order ,to express our gratitude for lthis sacrifice, we of the Class iof 1964 have dedicated the Cen- ftennial edition of the Annual to the taxpayers of Holyoke.

Settlement of Area In the England of the early 1600's religious toleration was scarce. Many peoples had to emigrate from England to America to establish communities free of religious struggle. In 1620 such people formed a company for the uplant- ing, ruling, ordering and governing of New England in America. They chose John Win- throp as governor. Soon, William Pynchon, prompted by the desire for wealth and religious freedom, joined the group. It was not until 1629, however, that the company received a charter by royal patent. The company, by this time called the Massa- chusetts Bay Company, was to found a civil colony for the development of land. It was a Puritan group. Yet it was not until the Cam- bridge Agreement was signed on August 26, 1629, that the group could actually emigrate to New England. This agreement provided for certain English gentlemen and their families to emigrate to New England, and carried with it full powers of government which could le- gally be transferred across the sea. The group was ready to set sail. William Pynchon was appointed a magistrate and assistant of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and accompanied Governor Winthrop in his passage to America. Governor Winthrop's ship arrived in June. 1630, at Salem. William Pynchon settled in Roxbury. The settlers remained peacefully in the Eastern part of the state, chiefly concerned with the support of family and church and with the building of towns and cities. They were not very interested in developing the western area for two reasons: it was their policy not to open land to promiscuous settlement, and although the local Indians had not bothered them, they were still not certain they could trust all the surrounding tribes. The visit of an Indian sachem fchiefb to Governor Winthrop in 1633 encouraged the settlement of the district which is presently Springfield. The desire for wealth through fur trading tempted Pynchon to move westward. In 1635 he received the consent of the General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony to re- move to the area of the Connecticut River, a river which had only been known to the English since 1631. He dispatched John Cable and John Woodstock to the Connecticut Valley to build a house and to prepare for settlers who
