Vi A good team forgets its last game; let ' s get out lere and show them who we are today! Implicit 1 i this statement are both the spirit which is Maurice J uher ' s and his desire to instill this spirit in the SJ linds of the varsity soccer players. Striving to produce an outstanding yearbook takes erseverance. Each year Mr. Suher spends many hours iking pictures and re-checking ads to make sure lat both meet the high standards he has set and laintained since he was first associated with the lasacksic. Another of Mr. Suher ' s outstanding traits is his ;nse of humor. His witticisms bring laughter and mjoyment to both students and faculty. In the Funday roduction — another responsibility he has shouldered )r several years — Mr. Suher puts his humor to good se, as the proceeds from this hilarious event benefit le Student Council scholarship fund. No description of Mr. Suher would be complete ' ithout including the two qualities which we, the ilass of 1963, appreciated the most — his continual elp and friendliness. The guidance which he offered ) us in our studies, on the athletic field, and in ie production of the Masacksic, aided us greatly iroughout these last four years. Certainly, we wish ) express our appreciation for this help, but even lore important than the help is the way it was given, laurice Suher treated us, not as an adult showing what to do, but rather as a friend sharing each xperience with us. 3 $ A kM MR.

Sebtcatton 3 i %9 m MISS LILLIAN ERICKSON I Needle-art for the evening hours Miss Erickson, we ' ve got to get these posters up before the end of school today. Could you drop everything and make them up for us? This type of request has never been ignored by Miss Lillian Erick- son; she is always ready to help, anywhere in the school. Together with Mr. Suher, Miss Erickson has worked each year as adviser in the production of the Masacksic. In the creation of the school newspaper, Miss Erickson performed the almost incredible task of printing the first few issues of the jet ]otter in the art room. Although Miss Erickson would be the first person to object, we feel that she is a vital factor in the spirit of our school. The unique relationship which Miss Erickson maintains with each student is one of her most amazing strengths. As an artist, she knows what must be done to correct a picture; as a teacher, she has the patience and restraint, rare in artists, to let the student carry the final responsibility for his work. This combination of abilities is the key which has helped many students develop the confidence that fosters creativity. Looking back on our school years at Longmeadow High School, we, the Class of 1963, wish to express our appreciation for the hours Miss Erickson has spent working with us and for us to make our life at this school more enjoyable. A private place for creative art. I:

The spirit of the first year has grown with the students and activities of the school to form the strong traditions reflected in this Masacksic. a.
