Administration To the Class of 1961 I would like to express to each member of your class and to your families my congratulations on your successful comple- tion of your work at Warren Kaynor. I hope that each one of you will realize that while you have gotten a good foundation from your school, it is just the foundation on which you must build. You can do this by your eagerness to learn on the job, by advice from those with whom you will work, by alert observation and an inquiring mind, by your willingness to do more than the minimum which the job calls for, and by taking advantage of educational oppor- tunities available to you in your community. I hope also that you will take part in community activities, that you will accept responsibility, that you will contribute more than your share to your family. If you do some of these things you can be sure that you will have a contented and satisfactory life. With ever)' good wish to each and all of you. Emmett O’Brien Director Division of Vocational Education The completion of the education and training program at the Kaynor Technical School by the members of the Class of 1961 deserves special recognition. Graduates of the Kaynor Technical School have achieved a much higher degree of ability to do things than is true of the average high school graduate. Your instructional program has also provided you with a background of knowledge which enables you to understand and interpret as well as perform. It is the hope of your teachers and your parents also that with this combination of skill and knowledge will go a desire to add a third characteristic, the desire to serve. Service will mean combining your skill and knowledge to do things in the best possible way to help your employer and your com- munity in general. We believe that your training and your attitudes will produce this spirit of service which will reflect credit on you and your school. R. W. Howes Assistant Director Division of Vocational Education 12 In behalf of the faculty I wish to con- gratulate the members of the graduating class of 1961. The work that you have accomplished and the manner in which you have worked together in acquiring your education and technical training has been most gratifying. I am confident that you will prove your- selves to be honorable and valuable citizens within your communities and that your lives will be abundantly blessed with all good things. I wish you all Godspeed. H. C. Folgmann Director 13 Mr. Mills discusses a problem with Charles Chaponis as Ronald Kulmann looks on. 14 Mr. Terrell counsels Frances Martino.

Our first day at Kaynor Tech! Many new faces and happy smiles greeted us. A heavily contested magazine campaign was our first activity. Even though the freshmen didn’t win, we felt we did benefit from the experience. Being introduced to our new trade found most of us leary concerning the operation of any machinery. Many of us felt that some of the subjects in the curriculum had no bearing on our future. We soon came to realize that every subject we studied would help us in our roles as future citizens. Our freshman year was enjoyable mostly because we combined work and pleasure. June came and found us on our first outing at Lake Compounce. This event marked the ending of our first year at Kaynor. Summer was here, and as it seemed, gone too quickly. September drew near and back we were in Kaynor corridors, smiling and saying hi” to our new friends as well as old. Our first sophomore activ- ity was a car-wash. This was something new and it proved profitable. Many of our sophomore boys and girls volunteered their services. Election of class officers also took place. A school news- paper came into being, but it was the over-all opinion that the newspaper created more work than the students had time for. Our enthusiastic class voted to have dues, and arrangements were made to collect the sum of $4.75 from each student. Most of our previous knowledge of class and shop work now begins to become more meaningful. Time passed quickly and once again we were on our outing at Lake Compounce, drawing to a close our second year and bringing with it two months’ vacation. Our Junior year was a very exciting one. Class dues were collected—$10.00 per student. It wasn’t easy, but when students realized that without these dues further activities could not be planned, they paid willingly. Record hops were held, but the Valentine Dance was probably the biggest success of all, financially and socially. The long-awaited occasion finally arrived. Our class rings had come and with them, a gleam in every Junior’s eyes, as if to say that we were finally approaching the time of decision,” our senior year. Prom preparations were extensive. The music was wonderful and, to highlight the evening, a king and queen were chosen. Everyone was studying hard, striving to earn credits that would make us seniors. Now wc look proudly into-the future, for we are on the threshold of the senior year. Somehow it doesn’t seem as though this is our last and final year. Wc started by raising money for senior activities. Although we did not collect dues, we did sell Christmas cards and book covers, and we obtained ads for our yearbook. Our various yearbook com- mittees tried to make this the best and most dynamic one ever compiled. Our basketball team was not often victorious, but when we beat Wilby we knew we belonged in Class A” basketball. This made our team and cheerleaders very proud. 18 Class Mistory As this is being written, tentative plans are being made for a senior activity. We know that wher- ever we decide to go we will enjoy ourselves and remember the occasion always. Before graduation, on a cool, clear night, June 10th, our senior prom was held. The Chase Country Club was decorated so beautifully that it made the dance seem like a dream. The dinner was ex- cellent and the music made everyone want to dance all night. It was a night every senior will remem- ber forever. After our final exams had been taken, we were ready to face the biggest day of our lives. Grad- uation day was here, the moment we were all waiting for. The gym was quiet as our parents and friends seated themselves. As we started up to the stage to receive our diplomas, we found it hard to believe that our Kaynor Tech school days had run out. Four years filled with sun and shadows, laughter and tears, work and play—the little things—the understanding smile, the helping friendships in time of trouble, the friendly advice—all cast unforgettable backgrounds. Thus, the final curtain-call came for the class of ’61 with smiles and tears for friends and memories we have had at Warren F. Kaynor Regional Technical School. •I i rj ■ ■■ j H 'B1 ' 1,1J w Class Compact We, the class of 1961, do hereby pro- claim to all and sundry, with all due sol- emnity, that we have agreed to hold a class reunion in the year 1966.
