What is the spirit of Longmeadow? is a question each one has to answer for him- self. To me, the spirit of Longmeadow High School is a lively and active one which chal- lenges and exercises the mental abilities of everyone who comes under its spell. The student who spends many hours in the shadow of the spirit, the teacher, who feels its influence as he instructs, all are affected. In a short eight years Longmeadow High School has developed a strong tradition. You, the class of 1963, will carry this spirit and tradition with you, for it has become a part of you. An integral part of the Longmeadow tra- dition is an insistence upon thinking of a high caliber. As the lancer of old honed his sword to a keen edge, you have sharpened your mind ' s ability to think, to make deci- sions. Keep it honed and sharp. Do not let rust gather on it by accepting the thoughts and decisions of others as your own. When the challenges come, as they will, you will be ready to make the decisions and strong enough to accept the responsibility that goes with them. EDGAR G. CRAVER Principal C %2j School spirit is the heartbeat of any strong and growing student body. What can be more important? If spirit is high, academic achievement and participation in the extra- curricular program will follow naturally. It is my hope that after graduation you will continue to show the same enthusiasm, loyalty, and sincerity to your college or place of employment that we have seen at Long- meadow High School during the past four years. Attempt to awaken the sleeping spirit that may be lying dormant in others; encour- age the eager to do more and lend a sup- porting hand to the unsteady. Light candles; in later years many will shine back to cheer you. If you exhibit interest and enthusiasm in whatever you do, people will soon realize that you are alive to your opportunities. If you live and work in a spirit of utter sin- cerity, you will add significance and a spar- kle of color to your daily lives. Don ' t ever lose that sparkle. RALPH L. SHINDLER Assistant Principal

To the Longmeadow High School Graduates of the Class of 1963: Congratulations to you for having suc- cessfully met the requirements for gradua- tion from Longmeadow High School. You well deserve these congratulations for I know that as a class you have had to work harder for your diplomas than has any class that preceded you. Your high school years have been critical ones in world his- tory. The problems raised by Communism, the emergence of new nations, the European Common Market, and the dawn of the space age have created a new awareness on the part of all Americans of the vital need for qual- ity education in our schools. Because of this realization, your course of studies in Long- meadow High School has been marked by many changes in content and depth and the utilization of new teaching materials and methods. Increasingly strict standards of per- formance have been required of all students. These challenges you have successfully met and you richly deserve your hard-won gradu- ation certificates. The Class of 1963 has been a credit to our school and town. Good luck and may God bless each of you in your future endeavors. ROBERT D. RUSSELL Superintendent J Superintendent of Schools A. foujrS . $u j4
