ggfzinaipafla Jlffanags r l To the Class of 1979 You were eighth graders when l arrived on the scene five years ago. Part of my job was to act as a change agent in the school. There were many priorities to deal with and there have been many changes. lt has purposely been a gradual process and I hope you understand that the benefits did accumulate over the time you were here. l.et's look at the list. The positive attitudes of students and teachers, equal pro- grams for both boys and girls, a student advisory, a student council active on the local and state levels, re-opening of the school store with management provided by the student council, accreditation by the State of Maine with ongoing plans for New England accreditation, Spirit Week, an expanded Winter Carnival program, and more. Most students would agree that these have been important, worthwhile changes. It probably doesn't seem that things like the revised grade scale, tighter discipline with more restrictions, limited Senior privileges, and steadily increasing require- ments for graduation would be looked upon favorably by your class. Yet l am proud to be able to praise you for the consideration and cooperation that you have given me. The Class of 1979 will graduate small in numbers but long remembered for your qualities of leadership, maturity, and the positive purposes to which you have directed your education. My Congratulations and best wishes to all. Andrew Buswell
