NDFAYESITCH This year two devoted members of the Harvard School community are graduating after a combined total of 60 years of service. Johnny Bokowski has been the backbone of the Harvard mainte- nance crew from the day he arrived at Harvard in 1948. It was a signifi- cant day for him, for the School, and for the calendar — February 29. Over the years, Johnny accumu- lated such a fund of information about the buildings and grounds of the campus that he was frequently more accurate than the maps or plans. Hardly a lighting or plumbing fixture has escaped his attention. In a very real sense, he has kept the School together. He is also a former Harvard parent, Scott having gradu- ated in the Class of 1975. Faye Sitch started work in Octo- ber, 1950. She began as seamstress in the military days, keeping uniforms in good order and making emer- gency repairs before important parades. For the past few years she has been in charge of the bookstore. She has watched hundreds of Har- vard boys come and go, viewing their progress with pride, never allowing the rush and flurry of young people to disturb the effec- tiveness of her work. All of us will sorely miss these two friends who have set a high standard of loyalty and dedication to the School they love. Christopher Berrisford Headmaster

iSEMlDHSii er this single entity — a senior lost in the vortex of absolute confusion. Upon graduation, a senior leaves behind a rigid structure and enters into a sphere of no dimensions. Travelling far beyond the twihght zone, he enters the future . . . In reflection, the past six years have provided each senior with more than the best education. Harvard helps to mold character, set values, and establish goals. At no time, however, do changes overcome the student with so much impact than during the senior year. The student begins his last year with the superficial concerns common to most unenhghtened, young men. His energies are aimed at retaking the SAT, filling out college applications, and achiev- ing high grades. After the first quarter, a tremendous transition soon overcomes each senior. Colleges and grades are replaced with interests of greater substance and value. Who wants to worry about his future when one can study the natural carbonation of hops in a controlled environment? Thus, the senior leaves Harvard fully prepared to be successsful in life. He leaves the security of reality and enters a world beyond the conception of the mortal mind. He enters the future . . .
