We never thought that in three short years, we could ever become so attached to one person. You have ex- pected much of us but you have given us much more. Your presence in times of stress as well as in times of fulfillment was an in- spiration to us. Through your example, we have attained sincerity, se lf -under standing, and unity. , ] The years may pass, but we will always remem- ber you. This 1975 BOULDER we dedicate to our class advisor, Mr. John Cordio, with our heartfelt thanks and appreciation. To Sir with Love I Dear Seniors, I hope that your experience at Fitchburg High School will have a positive influence in your future.
