Allagash High School - Highlander Yearbook (Allagash, ME)

Text from Pages 1 - 72 of the 1967 volume:

ALMA MATER Under your name we have learned the meaning of loyalty . . . the value of friendships . . . the glory of victory, the dignity of defeat. You have prepared us to face the challenges of the future . . . and we resolve that our future achievements shall add honor to your name.

May their aims be high and their services a success to the cause to which they have been called. Page 5 v Our m emoried We pause for a second to reflect on the scene of the past years. There are memories of friends, places and things. Happy faces at work and at play. The record is written and we will forever hold fond memories of these wonderful years. ADMINISTRATION I welcome this opportunity to write a few brief remarks in your 1967 yearbook. Shortly, we will bid farewell to the seniors; and it is our hope that they will cherish the memories of their high school days at Allagash. It is also our hope, that our efforts on their behalf have adequately prepared them for a successful life in their future years. We have attempted to heed the advice of Thomas A. Edison -- The most necessary task of civilization is to teach men how to think. Commencement is really the beginning; and, as you begin a life of challenge, let me paraphrase an ancient but worthwhile thought -- Thinking well is wise Planning well is wiser Doing well is best and wisest of all -- We wish you the best of everything!

Page 17 CLASS MOTTO: Less Than Our Best is Failure CLASS COLORS: Red and White CLASS FLOWER: Rose We, the Senior Class of 1967, began our Freshman year with a class of fifteen; Kelcy McBreairty, Linda McBreairty, Mary Pelletier, Myrtle Kelly, Myrtle McBreairty, Wilbur Gardner, Hollis Hafford, Greg Hughes, Darrel McBreairty, Stanley Pelletier, Phil McBreairty, Romeo Jackson, Russell Harvey, Guy Jackson, and Greg O'Leary. Galen Kelly joined us for awhile but soon left along with Phil McBreairty, who is serving in the U.S. Army; Wilbur Gardner, who is serving in the U.S. Marine Corps; Hollis Hafford, living at home; Romeo Jackson, employed in Limestone, Maine; and Mary Pelletier, living in Connecticut. That year, our class attendance dropped to ten. During our Sophomore year, Greg Hughes and Kelcy McBreairty left to attend school in Connecticut; Kelcy, however, rejoined us in our Junior year, giving us a class toll of nine. This persisted until the first few weeks of our Senior year when John O’Leary joined us. So, these ten little Indians are putting on their war paint and are preparing for the battle that faces them.

Page 32 YOUTH — IS A STATE OF MIND Youth is not entirely a time of life -- it is a state of mind. It is not wholly a matter of ripe cheeks, red lips or supple knees. It is a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions.... Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old only by desert- ing their ideals.... You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self- confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair. In the central place of every heart, there is a recording chamber; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer and courage, so long are you young. When the wires are all down and your heart is covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then and then, only, are you grown old.......” General MacArthur Market Street Fort Kent, Maine Compliments of A.

You can tell a sophomore Cause he carries one less book. You can tell a junior By his dashing air and such. You can tell a senior But boy, you can't tell him much! Greg: Do you know why Robin couldn't play baseball? Darrell: No, why? Greg: He didn't have a bat, man! Stanley: What happened when the boarding house blew up? Russell: Roomers were flying. Mother: Did you eat those tarts in the pantry? Peewee: I didn't touch one. Mother: Well, there's only one left. Peewee: That’s the one I didn't touch. Myrtle: Please don't drive so fast around the corners. ” Lee: Do what I do, close your eyes. Kelcy: I baked two kinds of biscuits. Would you like to take your pick?” Linda: No, thanks, I'll just use my hammer. John was watching a man repair his TV set. After a time of silence, he said to the man, I think it would work if you cleaned out all the dead cowboys. AND THAT'S ALL, FOLKS LITIIO. IN U.S.A.
