FROM THE FRONT OFFICE PRINCIPAL ALDRICH V. COUSINS It was quite an experience. It is one that you will relive and retell many times in the years to come; how it was when you attended Leominster High School. For many it was a case of arriving in the darkness of morning or leaving in the dark- ness of evening. You had to acquire new study habits as well as cope with a disrupted family life and a fragmented social life. You grumbled about the situation but you were determined to succeed in spite of the space shortages and time differences. The majority of you have achieved your goals. You have brought academic and athletic honors to yours ee and your school because of your desire to excel. You have witnessed the building program that will make it a reality for future students to attend our honored school during a single session. It has certainly been an interesting and re- warding three years. May the coming years bring you success, good health and happiness. God bless you all. Aldrich V. Cousins Principal

LaBelle Congratulations and best wishes to the class of 1977. Although you are following in the shad- ows of the Bicentennial Class of 1976, you have a unique character which sets you apart from all the other classes and which is your mark of distinc- tion. I am referring to your un- stinting contributions of time and energy which have made our school a better and happier place in which to be and work. Your selfless efforts, your in- tegrity, your loyalty, and your enthusiasm will be the legagy of the class of 1977, May you find success and ful- fillment in whatever you do. You will long be remembered by your friends at Leominster High School. Dr. J.D. Moore One of the major ingredients in any recipe for success is attitude. Even though you may have great natural talent and much training, you cannot achieve true success without effort, interest, desire, and enthusiasm-=all part of attitude. Some of you will go through life with the attitude of, That's good enough or That'll do. It is an attitude that says mediocrity is acceptable. It is an attitude that shows no pride, no drive, no sense of value. Others of you will go through life with an attitude of excellence. You will strive to do a better job, to render better service, to do all of which you are capable. I sincerely hope that each of you will main- tain an attitude of excellence and not medi- ocrity as you make your way through life. Dr. Joseph Carol
