As the last class to graduate from the old Weymouth High School, we are particularly conscious of the tremendous debt which we, our predecessors, and our successors owe to those who have con- tributed so much to the fine educational system of which we are 1962 ' s benefi- ciaries. In order to acknowledge this debt, at this historic time when Weymouth High School continues its proud traditions in its new surroundings, we have chosen eight representatives from all phases of the educational processes which have culminated in our graduation. To these educators, and through them to all those who have contributed to our successes, we gratefully dedicate this yearbook. Dr. Wallace H.
