FOREWORD Can you remember walking down the strange halls for the efirst time, finding yourself lost, and looking for the nearest Traveler's Aid Bureau? Do you recall the homework you thought you'd never finish and the sneaky look you gave that certain teacher you imagined was out to get you? And when you sat shuddering in the large gymnasium with Regents exams being passed out all around you, do you remember having looked at a classmate and laughed when you actually felt like passing out? Of course you have and because you have experienced all these emotions you've wondered how you could possibly survive the high school crises. Then suddenly one morning you awakened and realized that this was the day! As you walked across the stage to receive your diploma, perhaps for the first time you ex- perienced a pang way down deep inside. Aware that high school fun was gone. friends separated and lost, a segment of life concluded, you felt lonely. And then when you sud- denly find you'1'e only one of many who feel the same. you piece together every happy moment, every shared experience into one memory, not a memory clouded with petty grievances and occasional foolish actions but a rich full memory which will guide you from the past youthful days into the future world of maturity. The way at times may be rocky and uncertain. but the security of those wholesome high school years will help keep the dense clouds away and there will remain only a beautiful sunset.

DED ICA-H0 I r 5 X 53 4 fb C cm E35 as i 0 !825?'i95?'Z959Q,4675SGZ,NiQ75Q3dX Miss Eileen LaPan, In today's world of carelessness and indifference, it is indeed rare that a person is found who possesses sincere concern and warmth. We at Massena High School can consider ourselves extremely fortunate in that we have such a person with us. That person is Miss Eileen LaPan. A teacher at Massena High for six years. Miss LaPan has, from the start, shown all who have known her, not only as an instructor, the firm yet sincere affection that is the mark of a good teacher. However, good cannot adequately describe Miss LaPan. She is understanding when she knows something is wrong, strict when she is right, and full of praise when one does his best. Most important, she is completely honest and thus, one always knows the truth whatever it may be. Our years at Massena High School over, we'll walk out the front doors for the last time into a new world called maturity. In time we will appreciate the foresight and wisdom of our teachers. For each of us, there will be one teacher who will stand out as a favorite. Miss Eileen LaPan will be that one teacher to a great many of us. To those of us who have been taught by her, we are greater in knowledge, To those of us who have not, it is indeed unfortunate but regardless, the entire class of 1963 dedicates this yearbook to her. To adequately express our love and gratitude would be impossibleg but by this dedication, we can show a small portion of the high regard we have for her.
