Fitch High School - Tantara Yearbook (Groton, CT)

Text from Pages 1 - 212 of the 1962 volume:

Sovereign of the Universe: Thou who art the Father of all mercies, the Source of all life. Giver of all gifts, to Thee we turn in the hour that marks the supreme joy of the Graduating Class of 1962 of The Robert E. Fitch Senior High School, in gratitude of heart and mind, for the countless blessings with which Thou hast crowned their lives and the lives of their beloved parents. Grant, O God, that the daily task and the continued sacrifices of father and mother for the good and guidance of son and daughter, in the ways of knowl- edge and understanding, may not be in vain, but lead them evermore to a deeper pursuit of the good life. May the hope of their Alma Mater; their teachers, counselors and advisers never be dimmed, nor tarnished by the lives of their graduates, in days to come. Rather, may their lives hear the fruit of their teachers’ plantings in strength of character as their homage to their beloved Fitch High School. May the challenge of our times; a world on trial, find response in their lives in maturity of understanding, in loyalty to ideal, in responsibility to society; to the ever increasing glory of Thy name, to the enrichment of mankind, and to the blessing of our country. We ask it in Thy name; Our Father Who art in Heaven. RABBI HARRY R.

A diploma from high school. A goal of thirteen years ago, at least, has been attained. To some the way has been rough and rugged; to others it has been smooth and easy; to all, the diploma will be treasured evi- dence of a job done. Along the way you have made friends; you have developed char- acter; you have acquired skills and knowledge; but most impor- tant, you have influenced and have been influenced by your fel- low students and your teachers. The school, too, has felt your presence. It, too, has tried to make you better adults and citizens. My hope is that we have been success- ful. Remember well our basic phi- losophy. Self-government, self- control, and loyalty, when be- lieved in and practiced are firm foundations upon which to build. A fond farewell to you, the class of ’62. George M. Tyler Principal Every society, however simple or complex, provides educational op- portunities for its youth that are in keeping with the values of that so- ciety. Two central values guide edu- cation in Groton—the worth of each person and the continuance and im- provement of our democratic way of life. Our schools, therefore, provide learning activities that allow for individual differences, on the one hand, and, on the other, seek to de- velop the desire to advance dem- ocratic living. How well have the Groton Schools succeeded in your case? Have you learned to do a great many things that are necessary to earn a living? Have you de- veloped attitudes and understandings that will help you to live a useful and a happy life? If your answer is in the affirmative, all is well. If your conclusion is nega- tive, who is responsible? This we know: no one can learn for you; you must do it for yourself. Our hope is that you will make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you. ur y - , Wm. M. Farris Superintendent of Schools 6 Groton, Connecticut October 25, 1961 Front Row: J. S.

Climb high Climb jar Your aim the sky Your goal the star This quatrain was found in the papers of Professor Al- bert Hopkins. Although its true source has not been de- termined, it has been inscribed on his memorial to serve as an inspiration to passing students. I ask you to remember these lines, and to consider their advice while you are establishing your goals in life. Per- haps they will encourage you to select the bigger chal- lenges, in spite of the greater sacrifices and risks that are inevitably involved. Jay S.

Willard 90 Xfie Ttoacf Xo 7a en Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair. And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverge in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. R.

Athletes at Fitch should never take anything for granted. It is important to always try to be a champion. It is also important to never concede to anyone that he is better, at least not until the competition is over. 1961 is an excellent start to our “L” Competition. May the seasons in the future be as great. Cot CM vOkT CO-CAPTAIN PAUL SILVA JOHN HEYNIGER BOB ALLIN DENVER BARNETTE 97 COACHES: James Valakos, George Butcher, Robert Anderson, and Alton Andrews.

We placed 3rd among 21 teams in the Connecticut Invitational meet at Storrs; Paul Carter won 8th place ribbon in this meet. We also placed 9th among 40 teams in State Cham- pionship; Bob Beardslee finished 10th in the Class “L” division. 104 CAPTAINS A. Morrissette — P. Carter Carter Finishing n J. V. Cross Country Beardslee to the wire Get Ready! Generally, we regard this as a successful season, although we had the potential to do better, especially over the crucial later phase. Injury and illness kept key runners out of both Sectional and State meets, while mischance felled Paul Carter in the former, causing injury that kept him from his best in the latter. We’re looking for a stronger squad next year. 105 7) a. sJiet Sail 1962 106 Varsi fu FIRST ROW: J. Hall, L. Bryant, B. Miller, W. Moshier, C. Kuhse. SECOND ROW: Coach Hunsinger, W. Secret� , J.

Time and again, these boys found themselves on the short end of the score; but never once did they give up. When a group of boys have the tenacity to hang on, even though clinging to a losing cause; then those boys may carry their heads high and justly say to themselves that they had a successful season. loMi AJ. 108 Get that ball??

G. Wells GIIIIIIIID Never in his long history has man been faced with greater challenge. He stands on the threshold of space, ready to surge into the unchartered galaxies. In his grasp is the final conquest of the oceans, the last frontier on Earth. The men and women of General Dynamics EIectric Boat are playing an active, vital role in helping to shape the future. The nuclear powered submarines they build have opened the oceans to research, and they help preserve the freedom so necessary for man if he is to survive. Soon, new research submarines like the Aluminaut will take man to previously inaccessible areas to bring forth the vast, untapped mineral and food resources of the waters comprising seventy per cent of the Earth’s surface. There is more to be done. The task must ultimately fall to today’s young men and women.
