ADMINISTRATION Dr. George C. Roy Mr. Henry M. Doyle The work of our administrators is exemplified by the efficient organization and operation which characterize our school system; their endeavors, however, do not cease at this point. Each of these people—Dr. Roy, Mr. Vel- lante, Mr. Doyle, and Mrs. Barrett—gives a part of him- self in unfailing efforts to help all students and to offer them guidance and understanding whenever they seek it. We, the Seniors, will always be grateful to them for the unceasing and tireless work which they have done for us and for the entire student body. Mrs. Mary M. Barrett Mrs. Dorothy Thumith and Mrs. Irene McDonough

A STATELY DECREE 0 Mrs. Jane Rogers and Mrs. Ethel Cartier June, 1964 To The Class of 1964: “History of the Ages,” which is the theme selected by the Class of 1964 for its yearbook, brings to mind a period in which society failed to adjust or adapt itself to changing situa- tions. We agree that it is possible to profit from experience and to learn through inquiry, searching, listening, understanding and also by extending warmth and friendship. Thus, people are able to adjust to new situations. Are you qualified to take part in today’s history which may have a great impact on the future of the world? Do you consider it a chal- lenge to adjust to a new environment? Are you prepared to attempt to solve your own problems and to reason logically? Are you grateful for having had the opportunity to de- velop the tools for research and investigation? Are you desirous of possessing a driving and questioning mind, or are you satisfied to play a role similar to that of a serf of the Medieval Age? Realize and appreciate that you are part of a history-making nation, and accept the chal- lenge to be free, responsible and contributing citizens. Sincerely yours, WILLIAM A. VELLANTE Principal Mr. William A. Vellante Good Morning!

MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE Our Mathematics and Science Departments have done an excellent job in keeping pace with the many changes and developments which have taken place in these fields. We are justly proud of the advanced courses which were instituted this year, but we are prouder still of the fact that these departments give each student the opportunity to develop his talents fully. Mrs. Mary K. Gavin Mrs. Eleanor E. Kenney Miss Ellen M. Conway Mrs. Patricia E. Mr. Niles N. Nelson Mrs. Susan C. Merims Browne Mrs. Judith T. Coogan SOCIAL STUDIES The Social Studies Department prepares us for life in an ominous world, one in which our freedom is constant- ly under attack. Realizing, as our forefathers did, that we cannot be free without education, the department seeks to instruct us in our own way of life and to give us an understanding of the ways of others. It is this depart- ment which trains us to live up to the responsibilities of a democracy. Miss Dorothy J. Truskolaski Mr. Harry C. Damon Mr. Henry M. Doyle Y) Miss Mary E.
