DEDICATION Dear Mrs. Johnson, Each morning, would-be mathematicians were greeted by your cheerfulness. Your en- couragement prodded us on to ever higher levels of mathematics. Difficult problems were solved under the guidance of your patient and understanding manner. You helped us to unravel the mysteries of figures, and your enthusiasm spurred us toward ex- cellence. If one of us faltered, you were at his side to aid and help him to recover. Geometry, Algebra, Trigonometry — all were understood when you presented them to us in your lucid manner. We will never be able to fully repay you for the knowledge and understanding you have given us. Nonetheless, we hope that with this small bouquet of words, you will understand how we feel as we dedicate this Book to you. Sincerely yours, The Class of '62 MRS. ANNE JOHNSON 3

We, the members of the class of 1962, stand directly in the center of the Great Bridge of life. Behind us through the fog of past years we see our childhood — grammar school, junior high — each a supporting girder to the vast structure. Ahead, through a churning mist lies — college? the business world? marriage? — none of us can fortell. We must stride on confidently to complete our journey across the Bridge for which our four years at Enfield High have pre- pared us. When we were meek freshmen we passed through the toll station to high school proudly paying the fee we had earned after two years of hard work — our junior high diplomas. At this point began the portion of our journey which we shall look back upon with fond memories — the transition from childhood to young adulthood. Many times it was necessary for the understanding and patient faculty mem- bers at Enfield to bolster and repair gaps in the Bridge. Their continued efforts in our progress buttressed many weakening spans in our con- struction. As we travelled along the Great Bridge to- gether in our quest for knowledge, we paused at several points to explore newly discovered interest both in school work and extra-curricular activities. But each time we returned to the main flow of traffic, to continue the forward progress with our classmates. On occasion the supporting piers were weak and the Bridge dark and nar- row, but we steadfastly journeyed onward (occasionally we were prodded) to satisfy our curiosity for knowledge. The influences which have molded us during our past years at Enfield High School shall be felt strongly even after we have achieved our fondest goal. This book is a permanent record of those influences affecting us as individuals and as a class. Traditionally, in its last year, the class captures in words and pictures, events which have influenced its members, and records these events in a yearbook to be laid aside until some distant future date when the individual member unearths the Book and relives, nostal- gi ally, those moments of joy and frustrations. This is an opportunity to express our gratitude to those who have guided us along the Bridge. They have prepared us for our farewell to the halls of Enfield High to begin the final trek of our journey to the crest of the Bridge of Life called Success, Contentment, and Happiness.” 2
