FOREWORD As the school year of 1962-63 fades into history, we are able to reflect upon the events of our chapter. -We had a Berlin crisis, and a hated Berlin wall which di ' ided brother fi-oni brother. — We watched last year ' s rift between Russia and China grow wider — We forced Mr. Khrushchev ' s hand in Cuba and watched him withdraw his off ensive might. — We watched Richard Nixon get the shaft in California. On the local scene — We welcomed Vivian Oppenheimer, our first foreign ex- change student. — We waited 114 days for a New York newspaper. — At the movies we saw To Kill a Mockingbird and Days of Wine and Roses. — We cheered our Pioneers along to a DUSO championship. — We heard Vaughn Meader ' s First Family album, and laughed till our sides ached. — We marveled at the beauty of our Senior Prom. — We ended our year with graduation. A year is but a particle of sand in the hourglass of time. We of the class of 1963 are proud to present that particle of history which concerns Poughkeepsie.

DEDICATION In every school, the majority of students agrees that physics is a hard subject; as a result, new pupils approach Mr. Archibald ' s room with fear and trepidation. But they are soon reassured by his open, good humor and his infinite patience while explaining Ohm ' s Law. His patience is as abundant as it is necessary. Mr. Archibald ' s day seldom ends at three-thirty, for his room is always full of students in dire need of extra help, and those taking the make-up test they probably had hoped to avoid. Mr. Archibald ' s successes through the years as an educator reflect the hope he never lost in a thousand explanations as we reflect the esteem in which he is held as the class of 1963 proudly dedicates its Phois to Mr. Archibald.
