In Memoriam JERRY BROWN We of the student body of Essex feel a deep sense of loss at the untimely death of our fellow student, Jerry Brown. His tenure was much too brief, but the impression he made was lasting. He was completely committed to Hockey and was rap- idly developing into one of the North Shore’s most promising goaltenders. He was quick to anger, and quick to forget. There was no questioning his loyalty. He established an enviable rec- ord scholastically, as well. He will be sorely missed by all those who came in contact with him.

Dedication Mr. Shipulski has consistently given of himself unselfishly to help those of us who need it. His nine years of dedicated service has not gone unnoticed by those of us, the students, who could best appreciate his many kindnesses. Those of us who set up our Christmas stand will be eternally grateful to Mr. Shipulski for providing us with the lighting facilities we so sorely needed. Much of the success of our Senior Banquet can be attributed to Mr. Shipulski, due to the sound equipment he so generously provided for our enjoyment. His position as unofficial advisor and good friend has been invaluable to many. We would like to assure him that we will be back to visit, and request that he keep up the good work for the hundreds that will follow.

To the members of the 1971 Graduating Class: You will, in the years ahead, reflect in your every- day lives the developments in which you have been involved that have taken place during this last four year period — a period during which you have acquired an occupational background in many aspects of the agricultural industry, as well as attaining the purpose- ful goals of a high school education. During these same four years, you have had oppor- tunities not generally available to most high students in being placed in both employment and class situa- tions where it has been necessary for you to make deci- sions. This experience in making decisions, both in school and on the job, will be immensely helpful to you in the years ahead. Some of you will go directly into career employment, while others will enter the Armed Services or continue their education on a college level. Regardless of what you do, plan to continue your education in the technical aspects of your career, and take advantage of every opportunity for personal growth and development. Always remember that you have many friends here at Essex — instructors, Institute employees, classmates, and students from other classes. Certainly you must realize that in order to maintain these friendships, it will be desir- able for you to visit the Institute on frequent occasions to renew your associa- tion with instructional staff members and others with whom you have had a relationship during your student days. Keep in touch with the friends that were in school with you, and, by all means, join the Alumni Association and become an active member of this organization. This is your school — you are a member of the Essex family, and your friends want you to continue this association in the years ahead. I am sure that you have had happy and profitable days here at Essex, and this Yearbook will, in the days and years ahead, enable you to cherish these memories. This book is a precious treasure — keep it safe. I wish for each of you the fulfillment of your career aims and personal hap- piness in the years ahead. James F. Gallant ¢ Yelle, Director
