DEDICATION We, the class of 1975, dedicate our yearbook to the cause of world wide peace and universal brotherhood. It is our hope and our dream that, in the words of Abra- ham Lincoln, there will someday be . . malice towards none and justice for all. We pray too, that one day soon the dream of Martin Luther King will be realized. ... I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the ta- ble of brotherhood. . . I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. I have a dream today that. . . little black boys and little black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and little white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today. This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to the South. . . With this faith we will be able to walk together, to pray together, to struggle together. . . to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day. And if America is to be a great nation this must become true.

To the Class of 1975: What a warm, comforting, inspirational theme the largest class to ever graduate fiom Abington High School has chosen for its yearbook- Friends. With magnanimous joy you embrace all your classmates with the word, Friend. It would be almost miraculous if this phenomenon could be true. What is a friend; to whom should this title be given? To address somebody as friend requires considerable knowledge of the individual. You must have pride for their strengths and compassion for their weaknesses, true joy for their success and sorrow for their failures. Friendship is a lasting, generous qual- ity, not a cloak easily put on or quickly discarded. Friendship grows with time, know- ledge and understanding. Friendship germinates slowly, carefully and with a degree of caution. Friendship is a giving of one's self with no thought of recompense. To have a friend is a rewarding experience. Graduates, you will meet and enjoy countless acquaintances and associates and I fondly hope that you will have a few friends but more important that a few people will call you a friend. May some small success reward your every endeavor. Sincerely, John A. Murray Principal X
