M Y - -a--e-llullglff f-f - f 7-' f- - FOREWORD As we, the class of 1961, about to enter the ranks of alumni, look back upon the past several years we begin to realize more of what our school days have meant to us. In a degree we appreciate that the training of mind and body afforded us here will serve us well as a foundation upon which to build our future in an unsteady world. We are ready to accept the challenge of responsibility ahead. Let us do so courageously and confidently. In presenting the 1961 Comet Yearbook, the staff offers the story of an eventful and successful year, filled with work and play. We trust the Comet Yearbook will be treasured in days to come as a reminder of the happy school days in Hicksville High School, and of the opportunity we have had to prepare ourselves to play our part as honorable and useful citizens in this great America of ours. The editors have endeavored to produce this volume as a fitting tribute to the accomplishments of the class of 1961. We trust that you will enjoy it. As you turn its pages in the future, you will recall the school days of your youth, spent under the guidance of your principal Mr. Galloway, and all your teachers and administrators. We are all indebted to the boys in our own print shop who, under the direction of Mr. Adams, have produced this book. They have worked with untiring effort and interest and professional skill. The staff extends sincerest wishes for a successful and satisfying life ahead to every member of the graduating class of 1961. 4
