Mr. William H. Liebeknecht Principal's Greetings TO THE CLASS OF 1967 Your accomplishments over the past year will always be remembered as most outstanding by the many graduates yet to pass through the hallowed halls of Mattituck High School. You have accepted the chal- lenge of leadership and risen to the occasion, both in and out of school. As you face the world at college, the various services, or the work- ing community, you can do so with a feeling of security. You have had the benefit of one of the finest teaching staffs in the country. You have made the best of the facilities at hand and have seized the opportunity to grow. You deserve the best, for you have earned it. You go forward to a world full of new and better possibilities. You will have a share in making it a better place in which to live. I am extremely proud of your accomplishments thus far, as are your parents and teachers. Keep up the work you have started and continue to build on a foundation which is so basic, yet so solid; your family, your church, your school, and your community. 4

“If I were standing here and the whole out- side world were indifferent to what I was doing, I would still want to be doing just what I am” Harold Carr Because he has worked for and with us, because he has given generously of his time and wisdom . . . words are a poor substitute with which to express our sincere respect and admiration for this man. He has overlooked our forgetfulness, our carelessness and our inconsideration. He has made us look within ourselves and wonder, he has pushed us farther along the road to maturity. His calm resolution and his perspective of life have taken away our anger and substituted understanding. How can we say thank you to a man who has done all this? We could have offered you a gift, pre- sented you with money, but that would be meaningless to you. Instead, we chose to dedicate our yearbook, which is so all-important in our senior year, to you, Mr. Harold Carr.

Many of the goals which were a part of the dream of establishing a great high school here at Mattituck have been achieved to a creditable degree. The year 1967 finds us with a reputa- tion for excellence in many areas. The athletic, in that we have been successful for more than our share of times ... in winning champion- ships ... that is true, but then too, in promot- ing real sportsmanship. The spiritual, in that dedication to moral and ethical values of high order have marked, to a considerable degree, all of our activities. The academic, in that we have scored significantly high on all tests which seek to measure this growth ... But, even though it seems that academic achievement should measure the ultimate of an educational system ... the most important measure of this school can be made in answering only this question: is this a school which seeks to stimu- late and challenge young men and women ,to grow into great human beings? The direct in- fluence that our graduates have and will have on the shaping of a better world is the answer we seek. It is our faith, that, in terms of this goal, our graduates will attempt great things, and achieve great things, and that the world w'ill be a better place because of them. 5
