IN MEMORIAM RICHARD HITCHCOCK Graduation will not bo complete for many of us: Richard will not be with us physically to share our common feeling of accomplishment, our christen- ing into the world . . . We lived, laughed, and quarreled with him, and we learned to appreciate the individualism that made him a friend and person of value. He worked with us, united in spirit, toward the materialization of hopes and high ideals. But a fatal accident was to end the dreams of some- one so full of life. We, his classmates, realize that Richard's life was not in vain, for his remembrance will always be an integral part of our fondest memories. 3

DEDICATION We, the class of 1961, are proud to dedicate this yearbook to Norman Golding. We have found in Mr. Golding a model of loyalty and devotion to the highest principles for which the teaching profession stands. He has been our wise counselor and has provided us with the companionship that makes us sincerely want to call our teacher a friend. 2

PROLOGUE All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts . . . One's high school years constitute the acts of only one play on this vast stage. The player enters as an understudy striving to appear on stage; he exits as best actor, competent enough to appear on a larger stage. Secondary education is a play in life in which one first has an opportun- ity to play any part. He is the player in search of an education not only academically but also socially. The writing of plays is a great matter, forming as it does the minds and affections of men in such sort that whatsoever they see done in show on the stage, they will presently be doing in earnest in the world, which is a larger stage. This play determines the future of each and every player. That which he acquires now will designate whether he play next the part of the sage or the fool. We, acting as playwrights, will present to you — our audience — our play at Bellows Falls High School. As our players compete individually for best actor awards, our play strives as a whole for a first-position rating. Let the audience look to their eyes, For “give me audience.” 4
