Ecclisiastes once said, That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done is the which shall be done; and there is no new thing under the sun.” But, actually, the role of the individual has taken on a new aspect. Today, more than ever before, the individual has assumed a greater stature and because of this he exerts a greater impact on the rest of humanity. Ours is a world of opportunity, a time when one individual’s decision may influence the lives and destiny of many people. We recognize that his enhancement of the in- dividual is the culmination of the work of many people. We are eternally grateful for this guid- ance. We are thankful to our teachers for their stimulation, which they so subtly employed in encouraging our class to think. We are indebted to our parents for their guidance, tolerance, and understanding. We are thankful for the prosperity and cooperation of the citizens of Enfield for pro- viding us with the environment and opportunity to learn. Now we have reached a plateau with many ramifications. Many students will travel the road to college to broaden their scopes of knowledge. Others will choose the road to industry to practice their skills learned at Enfield High. Some will enlist in the Armed Forces where opportunities for service to our country are unlimited. Whichever road we take, we will enter our new environment with the assurance that we have been thoroughly trained to face a tumultuous world. We leave knowing that these past four years, the pliable, molding years, will probably have a great- er influence on our lives than any other year. 16 JOSEPH JAVORSKI Class President

CLASS OFFICERS Behind the success of every large group are those who are elected to execute the wishes to that group. Those elected must possess the traits of leadership, scholarship, integrity, and reliability. The class could have found no finer group as they elected Joseph Javorski, President, Myra Holmes, Vice-President; Susan Morse, Secretary; and James Cherry, Treasurer. From the earliest times of a democracy, officers have strengthened and given direction and meaning to the con- cept of a group of persons carrying out the wishes of the majority. Our class officers carried out this tradition in their dedication to their duties. Their efforts were instru-. mental in advancing the unity and the prosperity of their class. After the day of nominations we had a week of exciting campaigning. Posters and slogans decorated the many cor- ridors and rooms of the school. Pupils wore badges and campaign ribbons to show their backing of a favorite. Oratory from the stage of the beautiful auditorium con- James Cherry, Treasurer Susan Morse, Secretary' eluded the hectic campaigns. No national convention sur- passed our assembly for enthusiasm. Various projects were undertaken throughout the year to help defray the incidental costs of our graduation. One of the outstanding achievements was a dance sponsored by the Yearbook Staff, and guided by the Class Officers. Frequent meeting were held and ideas were made, revised, and carried out. During the Easter season, a car wash boosted our finan- cial status. Of course, the officers cannot be given all the credit, for without the unstinting enthusiasm and coopera- tion of the Senior class, little could have been ac- complished. Aside from the duty of organizing promptly and carry- ing out projects, the officers were automatically made members of the Class Night Committee. Together with those elected by the class, they strove to initiate the best class night, and graduation program ever presented in Enfield High School.
