He has firmly established for himself the reputation of being an extraordinary English teacher, one who has that rare facility of being able to communicate with students in an easy, informal manner. But that ' s only part of the story. As senior class advisor and play director, he has been unrelenting in his efforts to uplift and give solid stature to our 104-pupil senior class. For his contributions—which DEDICATION constitute, as it were, a priceless legacy—we, the Class of 1968, by acclamation, dedicate this yearbook to Mr. John Sullivan. 3

SUPERINTENDENT Mr. Edmund F. Tierney My Dear Graduates: June 5, 1967 Commencement - a beginning, and an end A beginning to another phase of life for which school years have been a preparation; an end insofar as you have completed the prescribed study entitling you to a diploma Life is marked with transitions: infancy to childhood, childhood to adolescence, adolescence to adulthood, adulthood to maturity, maturity to old age. These stages move quietly and are not noticed until they become altogether too evident. But others are accompanied by a degree of fanfare and public recognition Perhaps the most notable of them is your high school graduation. It ' s a distinct privilege for you this evening to say farewell to classmates and faculty who have worked with you and for you during these years. However, this happy occasion must not be regarded as an end. Consider it a plateau. You have struggled to get to this point, but the peak or suram.it is still beyond. Always look higher. Set yourself lofty objectives and then strive to attain them. You, as an individual, and, indeed, America itself, will be the benefactors. My very best wishes. ASST. SUPERINTENDENT Mr. Comer is currently completing 20 years in the Leicester School System, 18 of which were spent in the high school as an outstanding mathematics teacher. Our com¬ munity can take extreme pride in having this dedicated teacher now serving us so well and conscientiously in an administrative capacity. The esteem we hold for him can ' t be mea¬ sured by words. Let it suffice to say succinctly: Leicester is a better town for his having come our way. Mr. John E. Comer 2

PRINCIPAL One would generally assume that intimacy could not possibly exist between administration and a whopping 541-pupil student body. Maybe elsewhere, but nothing could be further from the truth here at Leicester High. Principal Edward L. Skelley has always maintained that sound academic growth best prospers in a warm, cheerful atmosphere. That ' s why he has a ready and buoyant hi for everyone. This greeting has been extended to all students under his wing since 1940. True, only a two-letter salutation, but nearly two thousand LHS graduates will tell you it has earned for him a world of respect and admiration. ADMINISTRATION MR. EDWARD L. SKELLEY ASST.
