PHILLIP H. MATHEWSON Superintendent of Schools Twelve years ago when you were in the first grade who would have thought that before you graduated from high school man would be able to circle the earth in less than two class periods. You have been living in one of the most dynamic periods of all history; and from all indications the tempo of this scien- tific, economic and cultural revolution will continue. In spite of the many hazards, you are most fortunate in having the oppor- tunity to grow up in such an era. What you young people do with this opportunity depends to a large extent upon your ability and interest in directing the course of change. The Montpelier Public Schools have tried to give you a good, sound education. Whether you seek immediate employment or go on to college, the true value of this education depends upon the use you make of it. I hope that you consider it a foundation on which to build your lifetime educational program. It is my pleasure to wish you continued success as you leave Montpelier High School. PHILIP H. MATHEWSON ROBERT H. CHASTNEY Principal of Montpelier High School The Class of 1961 Montpelier High School Ladies and Gentlemen: Within a few days your copy of the 1961 RECORD will be one of the few tangible links that you will have with Mont- pelier High School. Except for your diploma, your other ties will be chiefly in the field of memories. In the years to come when you again glance through your yearbook, you will look at the photographs of yourselves and your classmates and exclaim, Didn’t we wear odd-looking clothes in those days? or Didn't we have funny-looking hair- cuts then? Yes, the tangible evidences will change, but the memories of your four years at Montpelier High School will remain almost the same; except that painful recollections will lose much of their sharpness, and happy memories will become more and more pleasant. So it is with us, your teachers, who remain at the school as you go out to your various duties in the world. We may occasionally look at this yearbook, but more frequently we shall remember you as you went about your daily routine at the school. I can assure you that our recollection of you becomes a part of a blend of happy memories. Come back to visit us when you can. Know that the greatest reward a teacher ever receives is the knowledge that a former student possesses sufficient interest to return to school to tell us of his activities in the world of his experience. Know that our hopes and prayers for your success go with you as you leave the halls of Montpelier High School for the outside world. Cordially yours, ROBERT H. CHASTNEY
