For REFERENCE use only Published by The Class of 1976 Fitchburg High School Fitchburg, Massachusetts s earching, We travel through yesterdays we've never known and places long forgotten trying to choose a right path for the future. eflecting, We chart a course pointed out to us by others, and we share the achievements of their continuing search for the understanding of mankind. Succeeding in our own way, we pick up where they left off, and we intensify our search. s Speculating, We wonder how they instilled in us these images that never fade but inspire with time. Driven on, we travel countless roads and wander through long periods of darkness, knowing we must find a better way. cf w earing, As children we soon became familiar with each twist and turn of the road which lay before us. But as adults we emerged frightened into a world as foreign to us as the past. truggling, We took our first steps, stumbling many times, often straying off our track. Still we grew physically and mentally by learning to overcome the obstacles that confronted us. nit ing , We see that in these past three years we have become more than just individuals. Our class efforts have become more meaningful through the discoveries that we could accomplish goals which we thought beyond our reach. J had hoped to set an example and be an aid in helping this class learn to reason out all their decisions and choose the proper way to conduct their lives ... it was my wish that we both could have learned and all come out of this being better people . . . the friendships and experiences that I have gained as an adviser have made me a better teacher as well as a better individual . . . The rewards for being an adviser are many and you only have to be an adviser once to receive them. — Steve LeBlanc — In 1976, our year of graduation, we have been privileged to experience a stimulating transformation in the educa- tional atmosphere of Fitchburg High School. The motivating force behind this change is Mr. Aaron Nelson. Through his involvement in the reconstruction of the disciplinary guidelines, his democratic thinking, and his fairness with students, we have seen a new and different approach to education. Because he has made our last two years more meaningful, we owe him our sincere appreciation. O 2 D 18 Education is not something that is done for a student or to a student. It is what the student does for himself in developing his own powers. Teachers can help; so can a curriculum and an atmosphere of devotion to things of the mind. But ultimately the problem is utterly the student's. Charles Cols Top to Bottom, Left to Right Armand R. LaReau Superintendent of Business Affairs James F.

The memories of togetherness we have accumulated as a class, will always be part of our being. The lessons learned will grant us the strength to face and overcome life's many o bstacles. As we look back upon our high school days, The Spirit Of 76 will mean many different things to each of us, or maybe nothing at all. If you have experienced the thrill of pride in victory or the frustration of defeat for your class, if you have shared in the excitement of a class activity or have enjoyed the glow of a personal achievement which reflects upon your class, then you will truly always have The Spirit Of 76.
