MR. GEORGE F. WRIGHTSON As we pass through our city, we discover that there has always been a strong and paternal light shining at every corner. A sense of judgment com- bined with vast experience has helped all of us to make our decisions. One single beam has changed our lives in so many ways. As we leave these streets we will carry with us a spark of that light. We thank you — Mr. Wrightson.

In the heart of our city stands a monumental bronze — not mere bronze, but a wondrous commix- ion of metals . . . traits. So like our Mr. Burke it is! . . . so dignified, so pleasing, so proper. From its vantage its eyes keep watch over the city. Yet it is more than cold, impassive metal. There is the con- stant play of light and shade, the friendly greeting in the halls, the behind the scenes” deeds so neces- sary to our city’s survival. We thank you — Mr. Burke. I m

GUIDANCE COUNSELOR MR. ALBERT E. ROUTHIER A motorist confronted with two roads often does not know in which direction to proceed, unless guided by a sign. Mr. Albert Routhier has been our road sign. With sincere interest, a word of timely advice, and a bit of humor, he has guided us through these years of confusion and important de- cisions. When our world turned upside down or became an impossible puzzle, he was there to right it again. Problems which seemed insur- mountable to us he brought back to realistic proportions. Mr. Routhier has listened patiently to our I’m not sure what I want to be!” or Why should I go to college”? With a degree of calm- ness he has answered our questions and instilled confidence where before there was doubt and insecurity. His understanding in times of distress and encouragement in times of bewilderment have been an unfailing part of his fine guidance. The class of ’63 will always appreciate the time and energy which Mr. Routhier has so willingly devoted. GUIDANCE COUNSEL One of the most valuable agencies of our city is the Guidance Counsel. The chief executive is Mr. Wrightson (center). The members (seated left to right) are: Mr. Robert Plaisted — Class of ’66; Mrs. Louisa Barclay — Class of ’64; Mr. Frederick Oakes — Class of ’65; Mr. Albert Routhier — Class of ’63. At some time every citizen of our city has been in need of counseling. We have indeed benefited from the aid and understanding which our advisors have willingly given. They have given new outlooks on life; many of us have discovered our abilities and talents and have learned to develop them. An integral part of our city, the Counsel has impressed upon us the importance of scholastic and social achievements. Departing from our metropolis, we thank them for the assistance and ideals they have given us.
