To the Class of 1977: It has been said that a leader has two important characteristics: first, he is going somewhere; second, he is able to persuade other people to go with him. Selecting a leader of the Class of 1977 would be a difficult task, because there are so many of you who know where you are going and who have also persuaded others to follow. Although you may have been a follower, now be prepared to individualize your thinking in order to make your own decisions for determining life goals. As each of you travels in many directions away from home, try to bear in mind the words of Konrad Adenauer: “When the world seems large and complex, we need to remember that great world ideals all begin in some home neighborhood.” Best wishes to each of you. Sincerely yours, William A. Vellante Superintendent of Schools

a SPECIAL (mb Throughout our high school years Mrs. Mary Barrett has always shown us a great deal of patience and understanding. If it were not for this one guidance counselor many of us never would have overcome the complexities of arena scheduling nor would we have mastered the art of planning our future. She has aided each and every one of us either in selecting a college and curriculum or in selecting future career directions. We, the Class of 1977, feel greatly indebted to this one individual and it is for this reason that we extend our Special Thanks to Mrs. Mary Barrett.
