FOREWORD The class of 1962 is the last class to be graduated from this building. Not only do we end an era in the history of Ludlow High School, but we also end an era in our individual educational histories. However, the Class of 1962 does not look upon this graduation as an end but rather as a beginning—the beginning of additional experiences on our chosen walks of life. Our President, John F. Kennedy, has named the remaining years of this decade “The New Frontier.” So is our future a “New Frontier.” However, just as the future of our country is rooted in the history of its past, so is the future of the Class of 1962 rooted in the history of our past activities. Therefore, we present this record of the accomplishments of our high school years, and as the “New Frontier” of our country rests upon the wisdom of that great leader, Thomas Jefferson, so do we draw upon Jefferson’s own phrases to herald each mile- stone in this journal of our high school careers. This record will show, we believe, that as Thomas Jefferson said: “We are always equal to what we undertake with resolution.”

ADMINISTRATION PRINCIPAL GEORGE E. RUSSELL . . wisdom of the wise . . PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE The pages of the Yearbook of the class of 1962 contain a record of the achievements of the class in their academic, athletic, and social events—those phases in which you have accomplished so much in your years at Ludlow High School. I have been very well pleased with your response over the years, and your contributions to the history of Ludlow High School, and congratulate you especially on the preparation of this fine book which will serve as a fitting testimonial to the members of the Class of 1962. A special word of praise is extended to the Editor and Staff members through whose efforts this book. has been readied. I realize that it is not an easy undertaking and can well appreciate the many hours that Judy and her staff have put into its preparation. I know that its success will serve as a reward for their labor and in some measure compensate for the time and effort which it required of them. As you review now and in later years the events of your high school days as set forth in these pages, I hope that all the members of the class may remember with pleasant feelings the associations with Ludlow High School and the memories of these days shared with the graduates of the Class of 1962.
