 DEDICATION Everyone knows his characteristic crew cut and bow tie. His room is filled with plant life and a tank of fish, but it also is usually filled with people who want to talk about the future or the problems they have come against during the course of the school day. He is always ready to assist, if the problems are those in a certain subject or those of choosing a career. For your help and understanding of us, Mr. Illingworth, we the Class of 1964, dedicate the RECORD to you. ; 3

MB. PHILIP H. MATHEWSON Superintendent Members of the Class of 1964: As you leave Montpelier High School I am sure you will look back on the past four years as the most rewarding of your lives. You have faced an increasingly challenging and demanding high school program and you have successfully fulfilled the requirements. The world into which you are now stepping, whether it be an institution of higher learning or in your chosen vocation, is going to expect a great deal from you. This is an age of youth, an era of bold adventure. Measure up to your fullest potential and this new world will be a good place in which to live. The world can afford nothing but the best from all of you. Congratulations and best wishes I extend to you. BE. ROBERT H. CHASTNEY Principal Ladies and Gentlemen: It is traditional that the Principal of your school give you some word of greeting or sage remark that you may look at in the years to come when your four years at Montpelier High School become only a fading memory. The pages of this book may become yellowed with age and the pictures may fade but this note requires an immortal thought which will endure beyond the life span of pen and ink. I, therefore, give you the words carved upon the wall of a small chapel located in the Austrian Alps near Salzburg. I never saw this chapel but I have seen the copy of the inscription which Longfellow recorded for all time. ‘‘Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear and with a manly heart.” These words contain the wisdom of the ages. When the road before you looks especially dark and difficult in the years to come, think on these words. So much for the sage advice. Know that as you go out from Montpelier High School, each in your own direction, we who remain here shall remember you and think of you. Our blessing and our prayers go with you.
