Dedication Dr. Roger G. Cooley Dr. Cooley has been a part of Hoosac for the past three years, a past which the class of 1960 has been intimately associ- ated with. When he arrived, a moutainous task faced him of hiring a new faculty, ob- taining a new student body as well as settipg plans in motion for the future ex- pansion of the school. With his job clearly cut out for him, he set his nose to the grindstone and with his perseverance and undying spirit the job had begun. The years which followed were not without their pitfalls, but if we were to look back at the job that has been done in so short a time, the future of Hoosac School looks extremely bright. Two new buildings have appeared on campus, and plans for a third are being laid. The enrollment of the school has also increased greatly and the academic standard has improved tremend- ously. We, the class of 1960, are proud to have been just a small part of this growth and progress. We will never forget your sound advice. Our life at Hoosac will always be counted as one of the milestones in our career through your help, guidance, and compassion. We would like to show our appreciation to an inspiring leader by dedi- cating the 1960 Owl to you. Page 2

 Hoosac School has made steady progress over the past few years in the integration of a sound moral philosophy and preparation for college or life. These ideas are simple enough to suggest as the basis of both curricular and extra-curricular training. Nevertheless, to implement them requires a great deal of planning, thinking, adding and discarding. To follow historical patterns, we should strike a proper balance. While this is indeed the Hoosac way, it is not always simple to do. The means by which the mental and moral growth of Hoosac boys is promoted is found in a daily blending of the Christian ethic with all subject matter that is taught. These educational concepts are important and over the past seventy years they have grown to be a part of this school. But age alone does not necessarily make a thing good. We find that what is good in the concepts is that they provide the best hope we have of preventing man from becoming an animal. They are the best guides for us to follow in our constant search for justice, world understanding and peace. In this day of missile armament growth and compe- tition, let us not forget (and in 1985 when the class ol 1960 has its twenty-fifth reunion, let us not forget) that we must constantly ask ourselves the question which the psalmist asks in the one-hundred and twenty- first psalm and in our own school song: . . . From whence cometh my help? Page 4
