Just as “. . . Rome was not built in a day . . . the members of the class of 1967 did not emerge over a period of days or even weeks as the responsible, mature individuals they are now. It was four years ago that we, as fumbling freshmen, entered into the metamorphosis that was to change our whole concept of life and develop in each of us ideas and values that we will retain for years to come. As the Romans united to create a great empire, we united to create a class that could withstand four long years of experimentation and emerge strong and confident in ourselves and in our accomplishments. United as freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and finally seniors, we strove to leave an indelible mark on the history of East Rockaway High School. One of our tangible marks has taken the form of our final and what we hope will be our most lasting contribution—the 1967 ROOK. ... Veni . . Vidi . . . Vici . . .” YVe came as freshmen, we saw the many seemingly insurmountable obstacles and now, as seniors, have conquered them. We are now prepared to face the world realistically, with complete confidence in ourselves and in the preparation we have received. To the annals of history and to those who will follow in our footsteps, the members of the class of 1967 leave this, the Roman edition of the ROCK.
