ADMINISTRATIO FACULTY, STAFF A cu- MR. JOHN J, NEEDHAM and MR. FREDERIC V, STONE More than the sum of its parts, a school is, inevitably, fashioned by the humors of those who are its backbone: the administration, the faculty, the staff, We were all effected by Monday morning blahs, weekend prospects, SAT headaches, end of quarter anxieties, and the everyday confrontations in the office, classroom, dining hall and dorm are the things memories are made of, Noryaraca supplies the faces of those memories, caught sometimes unaware, working, teaching, exhibiting their humors,

H EADMASTEITS LETTER Looking out my window at the snow fall- ing, I find it difficult to believe that I am writing a letter for the yearbook which will bring the Academic year 1968-69 to a close. Certainly such cliches as, time flies and 'time waits for no man have come true as I look over the members of the graduating class of 1969. Many of you have seen a small campus become a large campus and the enrollment increase from 135 to 186, and the addition of domaitories and playing fields. Each of you has played a part in these developments and I want to express my appreciation to you and to your parents for the cooperation given me and the school over the years. The opening remarks of James A. Patrick Jr. , President of the Student Council, that he must have a cabinet which would up- hold the traditions, break new ground, be energetic and serious was prophetic be- cause the Council has done an excellent job and the students have given the Council their cooperation. Another phrase in this talk I would like you all to remember when you find yourself on a college campus in 1969 . . , a serious student government cannot be made up of Mr. Personalities with cute nicknames, nor class clowns, nor adventurers into Hippie -land . . . Think of this when you pick your student leaders in college and those you wish to follow in the future. On behalf of the Trustees, the faculty and myself I wish you success in college and in your life beyond - please come back and see us often.
