Scarborough High School - Four Corners Yearbook (Scarborough, ME)

Page 11 text:

When looking back upon our high s hool years, our individual minds will create images of those teachers and friends who have influen ed. We will remember the most serious and devote, the most versatile. or the humble one with the attributes of merriment and geniality. Having traveled to Greece, Mr. Panagakos has the invaluable advantage of this broadening experi- ence with which he enriches each class. Having possession of the valued virtue of humor, he sparks his classes with timely jollity. Mr. Panagakos will always mean a little more to those who have been associated with him through classes and outside activities. Mr, Panagakos thrives on human companionship. He treats everyone, be he fellow teacher or student, with a kindly regard and special attention. He was schooled in the manners of individual consideration for all. It is with all these memories that we affec- tionately dedicate our yearbook, the Four Corners of 1966. to Mr. Peter Panagakos.

As you, the Class of 1966, complete your preparation here at Scarborough High School, you will step out into the world following your own individual paths. No path will be exactly like another; and, as each of you travel along, you will have many opportunities to branch off and seek wider horizons. Each individual decision will be accompanied by a greater responsibility, This is as it should be. You have inherited the privilege of living in a land where “Indi- vidualism” can exist. This, however. places upon you the great responsibility of protecting your inheritance without abusing it. This you must do to guarantee it for those who will follow you. Individualism can only exist so long as it does not infringe on the rights and welfare of others. Although you have had, during your high school experience, op- portunities to operate as individuals, consideration for the rights of others has compelled you to reconsider your individualistic impulse. This is evidence of a ma- turity which is so necessary for your future success. It is with a feeling of confidence and pride that I wish you a happy and successful journey ahead. Our Individual Administrators Speak to Seniors SUPERINTENDENT THOMAS S. VOSE — a The taming of the North American continent in the last four hundred years was accomplished by men and women who dared to be different. Our history books tell us about John Smith, Boone, Lewis and Clark. and many others who sought a new dimension in their lives to pave the way for the kind of civilization we enjoy today. With the passing of the geographic frontier and the coming of affluence in our society, there are those who say that we are losing our individuality: that the opportunity to be different has disappeared. Beatlemania. hula-hoops, Frank Sinatra, and the other fads have made followers of us all, it has been said. I believe that young people everywhere can find fron- tiers to explore. I believe that there is room in America for the young person who can be different. Imagination and creativity in the spectacular areas of space, of sci- ence, and of medicine are visible frontiers. Uncharted areas can also be found in our dealings with one another, in the fight against poverty, in civil rights, and in help- ing to solve the many pressing problems of our social order. Do you dare to be different? Do you dare to seek real solutions to unpopular problems? There are frontiers in the Twentieth Century for the individual who is will- ing to seek them.
