These men have led us through our final year at E.H.S., setting an example worthy of our emulation. These men have all un- selfishly directed us toward the responsibility of the future, and without their spirit and leadership our learning experience would have been hampered. So it is with deep respect that we honor these men and dedicate ourselves to carry on their spirit.

M e aae T As Assistant Head Master of The English High School, I welcome this op- portunity to extend my cordial best wishes for future success to the Class of 1967. In these competitive and troubled times, today’s high school graduate is faced with college, service or full-time employment. In each of these diversified areas, you will compete with other young men, capable and qualified, as ou strive for advancement. May your efforts at English High School hold you in good stead in your chosen field. As the men of the Class of 1967 depart on their separate ways, they leave with the cherished memories of their years spent at The English High School and the challenge of our school’s aims — to become men of Honor and Achievement. The fulfillment of this objective rests in the minds and hearts of each and everyone of you. This is the challenge of America today. This is the heritage of an English High School graduate. This is the solemn trust and obligation passed on for al- most a century and a half to English High School men. These times call for clear thinking, for decisive action, and for perserverance. You are our future. Remember, you will always be men of English High School. May good fortune accompany you in your life’s endeavors. Francis G. Power, Assistant Head Master
