I also ask you to retain through the years your Enthusiasm for a life of freshness, vigor, and imagination. Have the courage to keep your ideals before you as unfailing goals, because to forget them would be to lose all. adminis Members of the Class of 1967, I ask you to re- member that your teachers have linked a past of striving and accomplishments to a future of opportunity and challenge. You are the living products of their concern; the hopeful focus of their faith in man's ability to learn from his heri- tage of failure and success. Their guidance and their teaching are invaluable tools in facing the awesome future. Best wishes and Godspeed. Hard work has made you the senior members of Portsmouth High School. Following gradua- tion you will lose this senior status and only by hard work can it be re-established in your chosen endeavor. If, while at- tending Portsmouth High, you learned that work and success are proportionate, your future happiness will be insured. May the world bless you with op- portunities, and may you have the wisdom to see and grasp them. 18 mr. william carberry vice principal

superintendent of schools mr. roland shappy Beginning to build its traditions upon a more sound foundation, the Class of 1967 approaches the moment of graduation with the knowledge that it has con- tributed its share to Portsmouth High School. As the second graduating class, it has profited from the experiences of its predecessor. The Senior Class always has the responsibility for generating school spirit, initia- tive and drive. As Seniors, the present class has recognized and reaffirmed that responsibility. Your responsibility does not cease upon your graduation. If the school has done a creditable job, your personal success and your contribution to the society in which you live, will reflect the thoroughness of your preparation of life. May I wish you every success and welcome you back to Portsmouth High School whenever you can return to us. You will not be forgotten. 17
