WECANTLEAVE WITHOUTSAYING. . . Our Class was the GREATEST EVER. Now, many classes say this of themselves, but few can prove it. We can. . . Proof number one: All the underclassmen have, at one time or another. agreed that we were the best. Example: When we were freshmen we declared that our class would put any class before us to shame, when we were sophomores, we predicted that not only would we be greater than any class before us but also any after us, and by the time we werejuniors, there was no doubt in our minds that we were the best. Conclusion: Any class that has been given such approval by underclassmen had to be terrific. Proof number two: Our class was multi-tal- ented. Being a modest class, we never bragged how we always had fine and conscientious lead- ers who gave generously of their time, both in class and non-class related areas. Also, because of our many excellent scholars, both recognized and unrecognized, our class was quite compe- titive. Furthermore, the number of athletes that our class produced was astonishing - and it was our athletes that led many of the teams to victory. For stubborn people who still doubt that we were the greatest class ever to HIT the high school, here is physical proof: Litchfield High had to be rebuilt for rather, renovated Jjust a year after we arrived. Mentioning the renovation brings to mind the fact that our class was one of the fortunate few to be chosen to test the extremes that a human body can possibly bear. For example, we demonstrated that bulldozers, roaring gun-ho outside a classroom window, have no adverse affects on a student trying to concentrate. ln fact, some students, after several months, loudly voiced the opinion that the din made studying more pleasant. Another stage of this testing period helped us to recognize and distinguish different, yet similar sounds. We learned that beep-beep-beep , commonly thought to be a fire alarm, is, in reality, the safety device of a truck backing up. Indeed, this experiment on our class helped us to become calm and reasona- ble individuals. Some people see this as the effect of shock , but what do they know? After the renovation period had run its course, we embarked on another series of experi- ments, again to test the durability of the human body. As a result of this second era in our high school career, shrill, sudden noises, like the mod bell, have never since startled us. We also became immune to cold. This last statement is in reference to the Refrigerator-Study Experi- ment . After several weeks of standing in shorts and short sleeved shirts in a gymnasium on a winter's morning or sitting in a poorly heated classroom for forty-five minutes at a stretch, we ceased to notice the cold twe were too numbl. One other thing that we learned at this time was: always carry a watch . . . never, never trust a school clock. tSomebody was always trying to make us believe that it was 5 o'clock or some other crazy hour when we had just begun our first classl. Nonetheless, whatever Litchfield High School had or did not have as a facility, it did not lack in the quality of its teachers. We can be proud to remember that not only did we have excellent educators but also teachers who were friendly and concerned with the individual stu- dent - many became personal friends.
