OxyanLzationi To Mrs. Pace, a great teacher and sup- porter of our class, who has helped make our dreams of the future become a reality. In this past year you have taught more than just social studies; we have learned to take on responsibilities and we feel, with your help, we have matured enough to meet challenges the future holds. You have given us the authority we look up to, with the faith and respect that we need. i J zdicatton Mr. Bostock, you have helped our class in many ways throughout the years. By helping to organize fund-raising activities, you have made it possible for us to have this year- book. Although it has been difficult at times, we have always succeeded with your sup- port. 3 On 0 [ zmory of O iOiazci M fizOocfz Remember Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay. Remember me when no more, day by day, You tell me of our future that you planned; Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterward remember, do not grieve; For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had. Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad. I am home in heaven, dear ones; Oh, so happy and so bright! There is perfect joy and beauty In this everlasting light. All the pain and grief is over, Every restless tossing passed; I am now at peace forever, Safely home in heaven at last. There is work still waiting for you, So you must not idly stand, Do it now, while life remaineth — You shall rest in God’s own land. When that work is all completed, He will gently call you Home; Oh, the rapture of that meeting, Oh, the joy to see you come! 4 c clminiibiation Top left: Mr. Pearl, Superintendent, Top right: Mr. Packert, Principal, Middle right: Mrs. Tofferi, Assistant Principal. 6 Mrs. Anita Pickielnok Secretary to the Principal Mrs. Shirley Merriam Secretary to the Superintendent Mrs. Priscilla Downs Secretary to the Guidance Counselor Mr. Gary Baach and Assistant, Mrs. Isabel Montgomery Education Consultants ■ Mr. Stanley Firkey Guidance Counselor Psychology 7 Mr. David Baker Math Photography Varsity Basketball Castleton State College, B.S.

Congratulations to the Class of 1979 From Your Friendly Neighborhood I.G.A. RAY AND ARDIS CLARK Compliments of the CROWLEY CHEESE FACTORY To the Class of 1979 Healdvilte, Vermont The difficult tasks to be performed are not ones that mean physical and mental labor, but the ones that you dislike, or the ones that you do not love. There are unpleasant angles to nearly every important job to be done in this world, but there must be an over-all love for doing each, else pre- cious time and effort are uselessly wasted. I shall never forget noting a sign above a construction job that read: “Builder of Difficult Foundations.” That man must have loved that calling, else he would not have made a point of advertising the fact!
