xcttci iid ' e44 « My earnest wish for the Class of 1961 is ' that you may enjoy a Ufe of real peace, prosperity, and hap- piness. Through the medium of this Meteor, you will quickly recall your friends, teachers, and experi- ences that have meant much to you during your school years. You will find that memories fade quickly and your yearbook will be more meaning- ful to you as the years pass on. We are living in a revolutionary technological society, and new ideas and plans that a few years ago were considered idle folly are now within our grasp. We have already witnessed amazing develop- ments in our efforts to conquer Outer Space. We know that within our lifetime even gi-eater feats will be accomplished. With these developments, new challenges and responsibilities will be thrust upon our people. All of you will be expected to accept a share of these responsibilities and to contribute in- varied ways to preserve and protect our democracy and the way of life that we so dearly cherish. Your high school, as you know it, will undergo re- visions. New facilities and materials will be provided and different methods used, as research gives new direction for the dissemination of knowledge. During your high school years, you have witnessed changes in the areas of science, mathematics, and guidance services. Other important improvements will have to be made in almost all other areas if we are to meet our responsibilities as an educational institu- tion. It is my fervent wish that you understand the contributions education must make to our so - ciety. As adult citizens you will be called upon to make many decisions that will in one way or an- other affect our educational objectives. If you have learned to think clearly and to serve with honest motives, even when surrounded by confusion and boisterous voices, then you are ready to accept your responsibilities. With your high school experiences behind you, new paths of accomplishment must be followed and new goals established. Face them in an in- quiring and exploring manner. Be open-minded and courageous, and with ambition and persever ance progress will be yours. With hope that you have a full realization of the sacrifices made by your parents during your high school years, I trust that you will continue to grow in wisdom and in favor with God and man.

PteicdeHt ' TfCcA i We, the Class of 1961, having spent four years under the guidance of the Berlin High School faculty, wish to take this opportunity to express our gratitude for their patience, time, and effort in preparing us for Kfe ' s school. To you, the parents, we extend our sincerest thanks for your support and willingness to help us in all our efforts during these memorable high school years. As president, I wish to convey my appreciation to my classmates for their co-operation, for our high school years would not have been the suc- cesses which they were without this group of young individuals.
