DEDICATION It is with deep appreciation that we, the class of 1967, dedi- cate our yearbook, The Echo, to Mr. John H. Naumowicz. He has been our teacher and our class advisor, but most impor- tant of all, he has been our friend during our years at Smith Academy. Now, with graduation here, we wish to extend to him our best wishes and heartfelt thanks.

EDITOR ' S MESSAGE In creating this yearbook, the editors of the 1967 ECHO have tried to give you, the readers, an account of the year ' s activities at Smith Academy. Within the cov- ers of this yearbook we hope you will find a true portrait of the Smith Academy student in his academic struggles and in his extracurr icular activities. We are indebted to many people for the success of our yearbook. We are grate- ful to Mr. Skarzynski and the other members of the faculty for their co-operation throughout the year. A special thank-you is extended to Mrs. Spakowski, our ad- visor, for her helpful counsel. We also thank all of the students who helped with the solicitation of ads. We must not forget our sincere thanks to the advertisers and patrons without whom this yearbook could not have been published. As editor-in-chief, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of the editors who so generously contributed their time and talents. We hope that this yearbook will help you to see the vital role Smith Academy plays in our community and in the lives of its students. flcM u QAdzs Editor-in-Chief

PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE To the Class of 1967: Graduation from high school is both a time for ending and a time for beginning; a time for leaving and a time for arriving. Each of you has successfully complet- ed twelve years of formal education, and yet each of you must now make critical decisions that will determine not only your personal future, but also the future of your country and the world. Enabling you to maturely encounter these decisions has been one of the goals of the Hatfield School System. We hope that the product of your experience in the schools of Hatfield will enable you not only to participate in the symbolic ending of graduation exercises, but also, this experience will have provided you with the necessary experience and knowledge to begin your life in the modern, adult world. For as Plato once stated in The Republic, The beginning is the most im- portant part of the work. In conclusion, you have earned the right to be proud of your past accomplish- ments, but accompanying this pride should be the recognition of your new responsibilities. While this is a time of your recognition, let it also be a time of your dedication.
