Appwiailoti Everyone seems to have a lasting impression of his first years in school. The image of school was a pleasant one for it wasn’t a time of all work and no fun. One teacher made it fascinating to come to school because she created an atmosphere of work mixed with play. Our first years at school are very important ones, for they set the building blocks for our future education. By mixing work with play it’s more exciting to learn and that is the reason we give our appreciation to the lady who started many of us way in First Grade, Mrs. Harriet Partridge.

TtedmtioK It’s really a great thought when you look back through your high school years and find one teacher who has continued to stick with you through the bad times as well as the good. Our class has gone through humiliating incidents and although he has criticized us, more important, he has believed in us. He has helped us renew our confidence in ourselves during the tough times. He has always been willing to devote his time to us even when he probably had other things to do. The Senior Class of 1969 has enjoyed many memorable times, too, and through these he has also been by our side. We hope that this is one of those memorable occasion for him, as we, The Class of 1969, dedicate our AVOCAN to Mr. Jack Gross.

'7umbd Hem tlmu There is nothing new; only a revival of something old, in a new setting. Fads come and go. Man can survive fads, soc- ial disorders, and nature’s disasters, if he remembers that in- tegrity, hard work, self-discipline and high standards are im- portant. We hope the Class of 1969 is equipped to recognize the value of setting goals and working toward their fulfillment.
