HIGH SCHOOL ...nv . .ew -.... ,... ,Mn 8mc'ry .Sf Z0 d To the members of the Class of 1962: During the past quarter century I have had the opportunity to observe many changes in East Bridgewater High School. At one time ou.r school housed pupils from grades four through twelve. Upon completion of the Central School we became the Junior-Senior High School. Your class was the first to spend most of its four years in our present structxme. Over this period classes have increased from an average of about fifty students to our present average of one hundred and eght. The senior high scmol staff has increased from ten to twenty-one full time teachers. New commses have been added ard old ones adapted to current needs. Our athletic program has developed from a basketball and a baseball team to our present well-rounded program for both boys and girls. with these physical changes has ceme e new challenge. A changing world demands higher achievement and greater skills of its youth. This role too, we have tried to meet. The world casts down its gauntlet before you. You must pick it up, accept the challenge, and move on to even greater grovrthy mental, physical, and spiritual. Growth ie an inevitable natural process, the acccnpanirxent to progress. Lot us then look upon the past with pride and to the future with confidence. Sincerely yours, Qffwyjffwi Bmry S. Loud Principal

Educa- tion is a continuous process, and those who would stop learning when they leave school are really talclng a backward step. To the seniors who are about to graduate from the East Bridgewater High School I would say keep up with your reading of good books and, through your Nading, continue to develop a keen interest in the world in which you live. Go on with your appreci- ation of good music, good art, and good literature. Try to find opportunities wherever you are to be of real service to your fellow meng affiliate yourselves with those institutions and move- ments that have for their purpose the making of a better world. And remember that genuine and lasting success comes to him who can lose himself in the interest of others. It is W wish that you may have such success. Sincerely, AZ3..A7x3. Stanley B. Goldman Superintendent of Schools

,Mrs Phyllis 13. Kriggs ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT We, the Class ot 1962, gratefully acknowl- edge Mr. Morey's fine and outstanding iob as administrative assistant. He has served as an ad- visor and part-time parent as well. One of the duties of parenthood is discipline, but this is only a small, unpleasant part of Mr. Morey's duties. Through the years he has lent to this and other classes invaluable advice and assistance. Looking back, we realize that Mr. Morey, by his own high standards, has inspired us to reach for higher goals, so that we, too, might gain the respect and honor that are his. GUIDANCE DIRECTOR As our new guidance director, Mrs. Briggs has had a great deal of experience in working with young people. For the past two years she has been a guidance director in New Hampshire. Previous to this she taught Latin, math, and English at East Providence Senior High School. Her impression of E.B. High is a favorable one, for she is pleased with the industrious ear- nest, and studious attitude of the student body. Mrs. Briggs has spent much of the year work- ing on the post-graduate plans of Seniors. Besides the complex task of college admissions, her re- sponsibilities entail curriculum programming, stu- dent employment, activity coordination, and the Student Council. Mn jaseph Z Marcy
