In Dedication to Mr. Harold Friesleben “Vigilando, Agendo, Bene Consulendo, Prospera Omnia Cedunt” “Vigilance, action, wise counsels, these insure success” Upon entering East Roekaway High School four years ago. we were a group of distinct individuals waiting for a guiding force to unite us into a strongly knit class. We found this guiding force in our class advisor, Mr. Harold Friesleben. At the outset of our high school career, we perceived in him the patience, tolerance, and sense of humor that was to guide us toward achieving the goals we strove to attain. His unsurpassed leadership ability was revealed through his dedicated assistance in the past years. He was able to make valuable the many class meetings we held with the use of his booming voice and understanding manner. Through his help, we have been able to purchase class rings, run our prom, “Blue Heaven” successfully, live through four Rock Rivalries, and profit from our many varied money-making schemes. We feel especially grateful to him for treating us as individuals, each with our own special problems. He encouraged us to formulate our own ideas, continually backing them with his freely given guidance. This guidance has helped us to unite as a class in which each person has contributed the talents with which he was endowed. His loyalty and encouragement give us pride in ourselves and in our school. His services to us have been intangible. Over the years he has shared with us part of himself. As much as he is dedicated, we are dedicating. VI
