It has violated the morals and conscience of some, and crippled or killed countless others. Now, as we leave the security of our schopi days and enter a world to which we are yet strangers, we enter a world of peace, a world that must reconstruct and re-evaluate the shattered ideals of its people. The first and most important phase of our lives has come to ah end and with it, the suffering and anguish of a war. Therefore, we the Class of 1973, as a memorial to those who have suffered in this war, dedicate this book to the year 1973. the year that peace came, to the men who gave their lives to make this end possible, especially those from Ipswich; Paul F. Doyon, John Mattarocchia, Robert E. Dudek, and William Gresch, to those who did return but will carry the scars of battle with them as long as they live, the P.O.W.’s, who have lost precious years of their lives to suffering and confinement far from their homes, to those who suffered for their ide- als, which could not condone a war, and to untold hundreds, whose stories will never be complete.
