“Association with the members of the Class of 1961 was a series of interesting but pleasant experiences. Your talents, both in curricular and co-curricular areas were many and varied. You were also friendly and cooperative and very loyal to the school. This is a good year in which to be graduated from high school because the oppor- tunities for advancement are limitless, and with your training you will not lack offers. I am confident that you will not be satisfied with mediocraty either in your work or in your lives and you have my best wishes for success and happiness in both.” 7 FREDERICK T. DACEY Principal

“Congratulations to the Class of 1961 on the completion of senior high school. The pressures of college entrance, of preparation for business, and of preparation for hpme and family living have been increasing each year. You, as the Class of 1961. have faced these increasing changes in a positive manner. It is our hope that you have been equipped with an attitude towards work, a philosophy of life, and a standard of morals which will help and guide you. We have tried, as administrators and teachers, to stress the importance of liberal education to include appreciation of the academic, the arts, music, industrial arts, and physical education. Your dependence upon these areas of preparation will be more and more as the years go by. The Agawam Public School System will assist you through recommendations and counseling at any future time in your life where we can be helpful. Good luck to each of you. We look forward to seeing you at future reunions. JAMES CLARK Superintendent of Schools 6
