Because of your strong faith I kept the track Whose sharp-set stones my strength had well-nigh spent. I could not meet your eyes if I turned back; So on I went. Because you would not yield belief in me, The threatening crags that rose my war to bar, I conquered inch by crumbling inch — to see The goal afar. And though I struggle toward it through hard years. Or flinch, or falter blindly, yet within, You can! unwavering my spirit hears And I shall win.

Dedication We, the graduating Class of 1978, dedicate our yearbook to MISS MARY MALLEY, a re- markable woman who has dedicated her life to teaching the students of Enfield. Her outstand- ing professionalism and optimistic attitude to- ward life continue to serve as an inspiration to all who are acquainted with her. After 43 years of being teacher, department head, and friend, she has retired from the En- field school system. We feel that without her and the support of the English Department, our years at Fermi would not have been complete. Together with Miss Malley, the English Depart- ment has contributed to the molding of our characters and has provided a foundation for our future. We wish to extend sincere appreciation to Miss Mary Malley and to the English Depart- ment without whom we would not have had such memorable years. Thank you. The Class of 1 978 m
