On June 1, 8, and 9, 1973, a festival of events will commemorate the retirement of the present Middle- town High School, the first public secondary school in the State of Connecticut.

 M- When an individual long noted for faithful service decides to retire, the occasion is marked by gifts, felicitations, a commemora- tive banquet. But how does one retire an insti- tution long recognized as a historical landmark? Soon the familiar tower will remain as a silent symbol of the past. No shrills of ac- tive students will resound through empty halls. Dust will settle gradually undisturbed. The depressions on worn staircases will re- main unchanged waiting stoically for fate to determine the future. It is a sad time, and a happy time. Many alum- ni will feel that reluctant pull, that emotional tug while the newest of the school community will noisily enter the ‘■new M.H.S. happily exuberant in the hope of new promise. For those of us who have been a part of the M.H.S. community for a significant length of time, there will be a brief sense of loss. As inev- itably time passes the loss will be scarred over by new challenges in new environs. But now it is the time for farewell. VALE.
