It is through this set of values that we establish innumer- able everyday habits which are used in our living pro- cedure. We must now consider our future status in the world by recognizing our limita- tions and capabilities. When we have made an honest appraisal of ourselves, we will realize that the habits we have formed and the progress we have achieved in the period of our lives which has just come to a close, are the factors that will influence many of our future decisions in life. I hope that we can all look back upon our high school years with a feeling that we have taken full advantage of the educational opportunities that have been offered to us; and that as a result, we are better prepared to pay back the debt we owe our community by serving Framingham as active, responsible citizens. In behalf of the senior class officers, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Edmond, our class advisor, who has worked right beside us in all our activities and has been directly responsible for their successes. I would also like to thank all those seniors who have given up their time to serve on our various committees. In conclusion I would like to thank you for allowing me to be your class president for the past two years. I am truly unable to express in mere words the gratitude that I will always have in my heart for having been given the opportunity to serve the Class of 1955. JAY LANDER Senior Class President Senior Class Advisor The success of our many class activities could not have been possible without the patient and wise guidance of our advisor, MR. HUBERT E. EDMOND. In the years to come, as we recall the pleasant memories of our high school years, we shall be ever grateful for his able assistance and sincere friendship. ... To each Senior my best wishes for a prosperous future. A future helped by your accomplishments in school. A future enriched by school associations and friendships. A future inspired by your active participation in school and class activi- ties. HUBERT EDMOND Alberta Berdina Alberico Berta is the most; she ' s full of fun, laughter and gaiety.

Long lunch lines Short lunch periods Heating system Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1955 One and a half score and six montns ago, the truant officers brought forth on this high school a new class, filled with mischievousness and dedicated to the proposition that all teachers are tyrants. It is for them, the Sophomores and Juniors, to be forced here to the unfinished work which we have thus far so cleverly dodged. It is rather for us, the graduating Seniors, to laugh at the great task remain- ing b re them. We here highly resolve that these three years shall not have passed in vain, that this class, without teachers, shall have a new birth of freedom — ! PERSONAL BEQUESTS I, Preston (My theory is — ) Clark, leave my green book bag to Richard Reed. I. Dave (Ivan) Martenson, bequeath to Mr. Ciccolo ten million dollars with which to build his dream school as described in class. I, Dianne (worn-out vocal chords) Pleshaw, hereby relinquish my whip, bruised knees, aching bones, and laryngitis to next year ' s captain (or co-cap- tains) of the cheering squad. I, John Q. (Lend me a nickel) Waters, leave my vim, vigor, and vitality to Jack Daniels (the Junior, I mean ) . I, Bubba (God ' s gift to women) Madden, leave my short haircut and physique to any underclassman who can do them justice. I, Sandra (See you at the Dairy) Himmelman, leave my come-hither glances to Rosemary Sherbert. I, Pat (Still lookin ' for the dagger) Wignott, leave my backyard swing to any Junior girl who can make as much use of it as I have. I, Bunky (Can ' t make up my mind) Carlson, bequeath everything that Coach McMahon said I am to next year ' s gridiron captains. I, Carol (Pick ya ' up at seven) Clough, leave my chauffeur ' s card to any one with a Buggy who is good-natured enough to want it. I, Phyllis (Got a new joke) Battistone, leave my many sweaters to Jill Sheehy. I, Alice (Just bought a new dress) Dieltz, leave my clothes to any Junior who has a house large enough to keep them in. I, Joe (NA NA) Pellegri, bequeath my specially edited book, Muscle Building Made Easy, to Jack Minns — also a loaf of Bond bread (It builds bodies eight ways.) I, Pinky (Come up and see me sometime) Pleshaw, leave my ability to get along with teachers to anyone who likes the office bench. I, Bob (Wait a sec) Cox, bequeath my talents to anyone who can find them — they ' re hidden. I, Kate (but the encyclopedia says) Martin, leave my ability to change Miss March ' s mind to next year ' s co-editors of the F. H. S. scandal sheet, The Student Crier. I. Bob (Way down south in Dixie) Mann, leave my Confederate flag to Paula Larrabee. I, Don (Laughs galore) Capobianco, leave my per- sonality and wit to Tony Bodio (not that he ' s lacking in either) . I, Dick (Never a dull moment) Sciolto, leave my height to Lenny McGrath. CLASS BEQUESTS To the Junior Class, we, the Seniors, proudly devise and bequeath our expert knowledge and skill, gained through years of experience, in cutting class, sign- ing our own excuse slips, and dodging homework. To Miss Estabrook, director of one of Framingham ' s finest Senior plays, we leave our gratitude and thanks! To Mr. Magoon, we leave our disappointment at not being able to attend the new F.H.S. To Mr. Martin, the Senior Class leaves a periscope to enable him to spy around corners on the mobs. To the faculty, we leave a good supply of nerve tonic and also toupees to replace the hair they frantically lost during our stay at the high school. We leave to Miss March two hundred copies of a censored version of Macbeth to eliminate the neces- sity of omitting certain passages. To Mrs. McConnon, we leave a lie detector so that she will be able to flush the phony hypochondriacs. We, the Senior boys, begrudgingly, leave our rights and privileges at Brush Hill, with the hope that the Juniors live up to our expectations. We, the Senior girls, leave to the Junior and Sopho- more gals our techniques for wrecking certain love affairs. We Seniors, boys and girls alike, leave our fruit boots (white bucks) and Joe college outfits to any squares who might want to attract attention. We leave to Mr. Meegan, Mr. Brooks, Mr. Lundberg, and Mr. Galvani, an unconditionally guaranteed tonic designed to grow hair instantly. Incidentally, it was formulated by a brilliant group of students who are flunking chemistry. To Mr. Daniels, the cheerleaders leave a lipstick- smeared handkerchief acquired after the Bay State competition. To Mr. Keville, we bequeath several cartons of asper- gum ! We, the Senior members of the Student Council, leave our argumentative abilities to the new members providing, of course, that they sell ten tons of fudge next year. To the school, we leave the many gouges and pencil and lipstick marks inflicted by us.

We, the undersigned, being of mind and body, do dain and establish this our last will and testament e read in the solemn memory of this class. Class History When most of the homemakers of Framingham were emptying their trunks of summer storage, Framing- ham High School opened its doors to a group of moth-eaten Sophomores, who were made to feel exceedingly bewildered by the attitude bestowed upon them by the natives of F. H. S. Granted, we weren ' t met with an onslaught of bombs of D.D.T., but frankly, it would have been less painful than the indifferent reception from our upperclassmen. Traditionally, we were accepted at the first social event of the year, the Senior-Sophomore dance, which was held early in October. Decked in the style of the day, and certainly our Sunday best, we tried to con- vince the Seniors that we could look and act human even if they believed otherwise. After being accepted as mentally fit, we were given the privilege of choosing our most worthy class- mates as homeroom representatives to the Almighty Student Council. We were gaining momentum and picking up speed ! ! We finally had someone to defend us now. It was a hard and bitter fight but we were richly rewarded. After sweating through Election Day, we came out on top with Jay Lader, Al Fio Rito, Dianne Pleshaw, and Toni Pellegrini, as President, Vice President, Secre- tary and Treasurer, respectively. With this action, we closed our sophomore year. After packing a cement mixer full of fun into two months of heavenly vacation, we had to return to our Halls of Ivy in order to prevent complete collapse. This year it was a privilege to reside on the first floor. Imagine getting dismissed on the first bell ! ! We were truly satisfied with ourselves, walking into our Junior year. We thought we knew the ins and outs of our school system but instead we found ourselves in a dilemma more confusing than anything we ' d faced before . . . rotating periods!! After con- quering this dilemma, we settled down to enjoy some of the F. H. S. activities, among which were football and basketball. The Juniors who participated in these sports proved their physical prowess beyond a doubt and provided the crowds with some real exciting moments. Having proven ourselves as a class endowed with tremendous athletic qualities we were now pre- sented with the challenge of demonstrating our mental superiority by combining our ideas and coming up with the plans for our Junior Prom, Prom by the Sea. This gay affair, given in honor of the Seniors, was an overwhelming and spectacular success, thanks to our indefatigable advisor, Mr. Edmond, and to the hard-working committees who worked up until the last minute. This is no exaggeration! We did not realize the satisfaction we could gain by helping others plan an exciting and fascinating social event until we looked back upon our Junior Prom! After recovering from the prom, we returned our thoughts to politics. This year we went all out; clever posters hung on every available wall, slogan tags worn up to the elbows, and campaign managers preparing their convincing speeches. It was an extremely close election, and after counting the ballots four times, we knew we had chosen Jay Lander to lead us through our senior year as our President. Dominic Garbarino took over the duties of our Vice President, Judy Dyer our typical Secretary, and we entrusted our wealth of our class to Toni Pellegrini, our Treasurer. With these elections, we closed the cover on an energetic and prosperous junior year. In the fall of ' 54 we obtained our ultimate goal by becoming highly honored Seniors. Our first act as Seniors was the presentation of the Senior-Sopho- more Dance at which we honored the in-coming Sophomores. The football dance was given for our heroes led by Captain Bunky Carlson, recipient of the B ' nai B ' rith Sportman ' s Award, and our new coach, Bingo McMahon. As we looked back upon our last year at F. H. S., we wanted to congratulate some of the members of the class who with their continual and tireless effort did a great deal towards the success of our class: Raymond Callahan, who headed our praise-worthy government as president of the Student Council; our traffic regu- lator and disciplinarian, Dick Sciolto, Captain of the Marshal System; Kate Martin and Carl Levine, co- editors of the ever-popular STUDENT CRIER; and the capable co-editors of the PHILOMATH, Anne Calver and Jimmy Lingley. Among the other members of our class who de- served much praise were: Frank Muri, President of the Student Councils of Massachusetts; Anne Calver, who whas chosen by the class and faculty to receive the Daughters of the American Revolution award; our basketball team, who after a very successful season, entered the Tech Tourney. One thing was certain, our baseball, hockey, track, and golf teams also deserved well-earned credit for their fine showing. We could have been prejudiced, but we believed the dramatic-minded members of our senior class put their every effort into making our senior play, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur ' s Court. one of the best plays ever presented. Everyone extended a vote of congratulation and appreciation to Miss Esta- brook, our patient and able director. As we spent the last few weeks finishing our duties at our dearly beloved hall of fame, we looked forward to the closing events of the Class of 1955. Class night, we gathered to recall the memories of our high school activities. On the eve of Graduation. June 9, 1955. we proudly received our diplomas and opened the door of the future through which each member of the Class of 1955 shall pass to achieve unprecedented accom- plishments in higher education and in life. 49 Most Fun to Have Around PHYLLIS BATTISTONE FRED TOGNACCI 50 Cutest PATRICIA ANN ESI PAI L SHEA 51 Band This year ' s band, as in the past, has been one of Framingham High School ' s out- standing features. Throughout our three years of high school the band has played an important part in many school activities. Every Saturday afternoon during the football season, this group has made the high school proud of its performance during and after the game. In addition, the band took part in the spring festivals and gave special concerts at General Motors and the Framing- ham Union Hospital. Our band is composed of 64 members including the majorettes. Students from the Lincoln, Memorial, and Saxonville Junior High Schools are also included in this group. Special mention should be made of the Brass Choir — a se ction of the band which plays Christmas music at all the elementary schools. The members of the band have certainly entertained us during our three years in high school. They should not be forgotten ... we hope they won ' t. 54 Majorettes In September of 1952, tryouts were held for girls who wished to lead the F.H.S. band down the field during the halftime antics at football games. Many tried out, and the class of ' 55 was well represented by Carole Logan, Mary Lou Nelson, Phyllis Edmunds, Shirley Surro, and Sandra O ' Connell. The girls prac- ticed hard and soon were in the swing of things. The sea- son was climaxed by the unprecedented appearance of the t w i r 1 e r s in the school ' s annual music festi- The 1953 season commenced with the addition of Marilyn Batchelder to the group. That year a new practice, that of going to competitions, was introduced to the group. They went to two of these, coming in second at Dedham, and winning a frist place trophy at Needham. In the spring, they again twirled in the music festi- val, and were warmly accepted by the audience. The girls had by far the most fun in their senior year; both in twirling at games and assemblies, and participating in competitions. For luck was again with them, and under their leader, Carole Logan, the girls won second place trophies in New Bedford and Natick, and first at Dedham. As before, they put in a well-received appearance in the 1955 music festival. These three years have been fun for the majorettes; they only hope people have gotten as much enjoyment from watching their performances as they have had performing. Senior Play On February 10th and 11th, 1955, the Senior Play, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur ' s Court, was presented at the Dennison Memorial Hall under the able direction of Miss Estabrook. This humorous comedy portrayed the acting ability of many members of our class who delightfully entertained the audiences. King Arthur ' s Court came to life with Al FioRito playing the lead as Hank Bennett, the Connecticut Yankee. Allen Phillips characterized King Arthur, and Jane Oesterling, his domineering wife. Pat Wignott played the part of the sleeky, scheming female villain with Ronald DeMaria, the castle magician portraying her partner in crime. Nancy O ' Neill as Sandy, and Phyllis Quinzani as Elaine, were the charming ladies of tbe court. Edward Green was the mischievous page boy, and Dick Maher. Jay Lander, and Frank Muri were the Knights of the Round Table. Under the direction of Mr. Edmond, the various committees worked laboriously to make this production the great success that it was. The chairmen of these committees were as follows: Publicity, Alan Hurwitz: Make-up, Marilyn Batchelder; Ushering, Barbara Marenghi; Tickets, Mary Lou i.elson; Stage and Lighting, Jon Provest; Costumes, Barbara Raphael; Properties, Russell Asnes. STUDENT CRIER 6 STUDENT ASSOCIATION PUBLICATION Three years have passed since we first entered Framingham High School not know- ing where we were going or how we were going to get there. But now that those three years are over, we leave behind the uncertainties and anxieties we all have had to face. As far as most of us are concerned we know what we want in life, and have at least half an idea of how to obtain it, but we all realize that many difficulties lie ahead. Since we all have different preferences as to occupations, most of us will be leaving old friends only to make new ones. Some of us will become secretaries, lawyers, engineers; others laborers, inventors, nurses; and still others will choose wide and varied fields of endeavor. Strangely enough these three years spent at Framingham High School have patterned our entire lifetimes, for what we have learned here in the way of knowledge will undoubtedly be of the greatest importance in fashioning our futures. Now that graduation is here, we, the class of 1955, realize the inestimable value of the knowledge that has been bestowed upon us, and wish to extend our most humble thanks to the many persons whose help has made our class as successful as it has been. A large part of our gratitude should be given to Miss March, Miss Goldsmith, and Mr. Keville, who have done excellent jobs in supervising t he student publications of Framingham High School. Neither the Philomath nor the Student Crier could be the successes they are without their tireless patience and cooperation. Mr. Edmond, our most worthy class advisor, has won himself our highest respect for tolerating and guiding us in our many class activities. Mr. Daniels, an outstanding athletic director to whom we have dedicated this year- book, deserves a lot of credit for his endless job of planning all our athletic activities. Along with Mr. Daniels to the many coaches, Mr. Morris, Mr. McMahon, Mr. Summers, Mr. Novak also goes a vote of thanks. As far as guidance is concerned, we are doubly thankful to Miss Hobbs and Mr. Martin who have aided us in making our most important decisions. To Mr. Magoon, our principal, we extend our most sincere thanks for everything, both large and small, that he has so graciously done for us. To the faculty as a whole, we, the class of ' 55 extend a most hearty — THANK YOU! 58 Raymond Callahan presided as head of the Council this year, with Bob St. Andre and Janice Piccioli as first and second vice presidents. Anne Calver and Marianne Bianchi were recording and corresponding secretaries, respectively. Dom Garbarino took over the duties of treasurer. Frank Muri represented F. H. S. as President of the Massachusetts Association of Student Councils. As in previous years, the Student Council sponsored various activities of the school: the sale of book covers; the candy sale, which made $500; the Christmas projects, which contributed clothes, food, and money to numerous organizations; the annual football dance in honor of the football team; and finally, the Student Council dance, an added attraction before the Prom. 61 fPHTflii] 1 On the nighf of May 21, our class presented Prom by the Sea. Credit for this gala affair goes to the entire class, and especially to the general com- mittee, and our advisor, Mr. Edmond. Mention must also be made of the excel- lent job accomplished by the art com- mittee for their cineramic stage. Lee Colman and his orchestra provided the stereophonic rhythm. A wonderful evening was climaxed with the crowning of the princesses and the queen. The judges showed a careful eye for beauty in their selections — Marcia Rand and Judy Dyer, princesses; and Betty Oliver, the queen. ]unior Prom Cheerleaders Indians? ? A group which has played an important part supporting our athletic teams is the cheerleaders. As sophomores we remember the spirit that they continued to maintain throughout the following two years. During the junior year, their long hours of practice were rewarded as the group succeeded in capturing three first-place trophies in local competition. To top it off, they brought home the seventh-place trophy from the state-wide competition. Senior year came and the squad one again did a tremendous job cheering at the football and basketball games. They really knew how to keep up the morale of the players. Their support this year has continued the tradition of outstanding Framing- ham High cheering squads. The girls can be proud of their performance during the past three years. It will always be remembered. 66 Football Back row: J. Anketell, L. LeLerc, L. Carlson, J. Madden. Front row: J. Connor, A.

Football Review Framingham began the ' 54 season under a new coach from Clinton, Mr. William Bingo McMahon. In their first outing the Flyers lost a close decision to Billerica 6 to 2. The Flyers made up for this poor showing, however, by overcoming a strong Marlboro eleven 16 to 6. Joe Borelli sparked the team with an intercepted pass and a run for a touchdown. Framingham, playing its first game at home, then lost to Belmont on a late Belmont drive. With the game tied 7 to 7 in the fourth quarter, the Belmont line blocked Ray Miles ' punt. Belmont recovered on the ten, and went on to score the deciding touchdown. The next week Framing- ham traveled to a rain-soaked Dedham field. The Flyers, with a strong offense directed by Lennie LeClerc, scored an early touchdown and led at the half, 6 to 0. However, Framingham lost the services of LeClerc in this half and were unable to move the ball successfully the rest of the game. Dedham finally evened the score against a determined Framingham line and the game ended in a tie, 6 to 6. On October 23, the team returned to Framingham to play the perennially strong Concord eleven. The team fought all the way, threatening to score several times; however, Concord with two late scores outclassed the Flyers 21 to 0. In this game the team lost the services of the star halfback, Joe Borelli, for the remainder of the season. In their first morning game of the season, the Flyers journeyed to Needham to play a heavily-favored Needham squad. With Dick Natoli and Captain Bunky Carlson leading the way, Framingham upset Needham 13 to 0. This game marked a turning point in the Flyers ' style of play. In all remaining games the team showed superior ball-handling and strengthened defense. Next week, at Framingham, the team turned in their best performance of the season, playin g a Wellesley team which had trounced Narick 39 to 12. The tre- mendous punting of Wellesley ' s Joe McTique saved the visitors from defeat. Only after Framingham ' s determined march stalled on Wellesley ' s three-yard line did Wellesley put together its scoring drive. The conversion missed and Wellesley won 6 to 0. Led by two scores by John Garbarino, the Flyers routed Hudson 34 to 0. The team put on their best offensive show of the season with a net gain of 400 yards while the defensive unit held the Hudson Hawks to 15 yards rushing. Framingham, with lengthy practice sessions, prepared for the traditional turkey- day classic with Natick. The Natick charges, playing their best ball of the season, were not to be stopped, however, and defeated a spirited Framingham eleven by 20 to 0. Natick, taking advantage of several breaks, added two touchdowns to their first period score and thus continued their mastery over Framingham. 9 es, o fri ,j6 -.

S. draws to a close, we can look back on an ex- tremely successful season of basketball. The Flyers showed that they were a team to be reckoned with in the first game of the season when they pulled out a major upset. In this game the Flyers, sparked by Dom Garbarino, defeated heavily favored Milton 63 to 59. Early in the season, Captain Gar- barino sustained an ankle injury which limited his appearances and made the task of the Flyer quintet very difficult. Even so, the Flyers posted victories over Norwood, Walpole and Needham while losing only to a strong Dedham club. The next scheduled game was with arch-rival Natick High. In this thrilling game the spirited Framingham five beat the Natick cagers by the score of 49 to 46. In this game all of the Flyers played outstanding ball, but diminutive John Garbarino really wowed the spectators with his spectacular play. After this victory the team edged out Wellesley to further strengthen their title chances. This game marked the half-way point in regular season play with the Flyers emerging with a fine record of six wins and 1 loss. At the start of the second half of league action Framingham played host to the strong Milton team. In a very exciting game played before a capacity crowd, the Framingham quintet finally bowed to Milton in double overtime after many valiant attempts to pull the game out. Although the team lost to Milton, this only gave them added incentive, and in the next game they avenged an earlier defeat by beating Dedham 71 to 60. A healthy Dom Garbarino sparked the Flyers with 24 points and was much praised by both Framing- ham followers and opponents. The next week the Flyers, seriously weakened by an epidemic of colds, took on an improving Nor- wood club. The team, weakened as they were by absence, put up a good showing but ended up dropping the decision. The loss to Norwood gave Framingham a record of seven wins and three losses, and Flyer hopes of becoming league champs were dwindling. The team realized this fact and settled down to hard practice. The spirit paid off as the Framingham quintet rolled on to whip a hapless Walpole team and then to defeat strong Needham and Wellesley teams. The win over Wellesley set the stage for one of the most dramatic games in many years. The Flyers were scheduled to play Natick at the new Natick High gym; if they could beal; Natick as they did earlier, Framingham would be deadlocked with Natick and Milton for first place in league standings. The game was well played and hard fought from the beginning. Natick led late in the last period and was confident of victory but the never-say-die Flyers closed the gap and finally won on a foul shot by John Garbarino. Continued on page 74 Continued from page 71 Since three teams were tied for third place, a playoff series was necessary. This was to be played on a neutral court at Dedham. In the first game of the series Framingham played Milton with the winner to play Natick for the championship. In their third meeting with the ever improving Milton team, Framingham played the Whiz Kids on even terms until the last quarter when Milton ' s unusually- strong bench showed its worth. With fresh players in the game. Milton sewed up the victory in the final four minutes. Later that week, Milton ' s Whiz Kids defeated Natick to become Bay State League champs again. Although Framingham had not won the league crown, there was still the Tech Tourney to be played. In the Flyer ' s first game at Northeastern, the team swamped a weak Hyde Park team by 86 to 54. The second team was used throughout much of this game, and they proved themselves very capable of running up an impressive score. In the next game, the Flyers were scheduled to play Matignon High. Going into the game, Fram- ingham was a definite underdog and Matignon was figured to run away with the decision. The Flyer quintet had other ideas, however, and Framingham broke away to an early lead. Matignon warmed up in the second period and the lead changed hands often. In the third period Matignon really put the pressure on and led by as many as 11 points. Things looked black for the Flyers going into the fourth period but they came out fighting and kept chop- ping at the Matignon lead until it looked as though the Framingham team would pull another tremen- dous upset. Then, with less than a minute left in the game, with Matignon leading by one point, a Matignon player was fouled! He calmly sank both shots to give Matignon a three-point lead with about thirty seconds left. Framingham took possession of the ball and Bob St. Andre drove in to score just as the buzzer sounded ending the game. This last basket was not quite enough to overcome the deficit and Matignon was the winner by one point — 57 to 56. Although the Flyers lost to Matignon, they im- pressed everyone with their display of power and spirit. It was this spirit, along with excellent coach- ing and fine team play, which gave Framingham High a great basketball team. . .

Coach Miles Huntington. This year ' s hockey squad enjoyed one of its best seasons in several years as the team finished up in the first division. Bolstered by many returning lettermen, the Flyers made a bid for Bay State honors, but were edged out by the perennially strong Walpole and Needham clubs. Framingham started out on the right foot beating a strong Medford team 2-1 in a pre-season jamboree. The sextet dropped their first league game, however, to defend- ing Bay State Champs, Needham, 3-6. The scpuad then easily took B. C. High 2-0. This game served as a warmup to the Walpole game, the Flyer ' s best performance of the season. With perfect teamwork, the stellar play of Co-Captains Tom Potenza and Bubba Madden, and sparkling saves by Tim Whiting, the sextet scored a thrilling upset to beat Walpole 2-1. Framingham went on to tie Waltham and Watertown by identical scores of 1-1. The team split the next two regular league games, losing to Norwood 0-3, but over- powering Wellesley 4-2. This left the Framingham entry in a third place tie with Waltham and gave them a berth in the first division playoffs. Although the Flyers failed to win in the play offs. they gave the league favorites. Needham and Walpole. a rough time before finally bowing. In both games the team was leading after two periods but were unable to hold the lead in the third period. 76 In Appreciation The PHILOMATH wishes to thank the following people who, through their sacrifice and thoughtfulness, made the success of this yearbook.
