Farewell to the Class of 1962! We say it with regret when we think of the parting with you, but with earnestness when we think of the real meaning of the words. We hope that you will “fare well” in all that you are about to undertake, whether it is continued study or immediate work of other kinds. We shall miss you in the high school life for you have been such a self-evident factor for the last three years. May you take with you the energy you have shown here, as you go on to college, or to business, or to the making of your homes! Take with you also the prin- ciples of honesty and right living for which you are proud to have your high school stand! May you have the strength and vision to carry on towards the development of all of your varied poten- tialities and so to lives of happiness and usefulness. Sincerely yours Nelson E. Smith Principal Members of the Class of 1962: Congratulations seniors, on your graduation. I wish you ever)' happiness and success in the future.

ADMINISTRATION BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. Joseph Vassallo, Mr. William Ruder, Mr. John Drew, President, Mr. B. Fred Lang- w’orthy, Mr. Francis Carpenter. To the Class of 1962: Age is not really a matter of how old you are. Rather, it is an attitude that adjusts to and keeps pace with Life. Persons who have a youthfulness in spirit always want to learn. When we cease the desire to learn, we stop growing; and when we stop growing, we degenerate into fogeys and fossils. I hope that each of you will always maintain the desire to learn as you go through life; the desire to progress to higher values; the desire to make independent, critical judgments concerning the events and trends of life; the desire to be a person of character; the desire to develop yourself as a whole person, spiritually, academically, morally, and physically. Cordially, Louis M. Klein Superintendent of Schools 6

To the Class of 1962: Graduation from high school means the beginning of new, exciting, challenging experiences in the field of education or business. My hope is that you have the educational and moral background to grow, as a result of these experiences, into useful, interested, intelligent citizens. From you, the future leaders of our community, state, and nation will come. To. be a citizen of the United States is a great privilege. Every privilege entails an obligation. To preserve our privilege of liv ing in a free country-, we must be willing to con- tribute our untiring efforts to protect it, and to sacrifice ourselves, if necessary. Sincerely yours, The indispensable Mrs. DeMacy. To the Class of 1962: Each year brings a greater need for individual integrity and responsibility in our personal lives — and even more so in our lives as related to com- munity, national and world affairs. It is my hope that Harrison High School has given you a set of values to build upon, that you may measure up to these demands of our time. May I suggest that you continuously measure yourself against these standards, that you may work to your fullest capacity and make your best contribution to society. If you follow these ideals, I am sure you will face the marvels and unknowns of the future with con fident expectation. My personal best wishes go with each graduate.
