TE TRA NN H1 1961 - 1965 TORIAE This is the record of a class now nearly completing its four years at Southbridge High School. Changes have taken place in the class and in the nation. New faces have made their impact felt on class affairs, and old friends have moved away leaving a feeling of loss at their departure. Nationally, these years witnessed the election of Lyndon Baines Johnson and the still unbelievable assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. They witnessed the death of the Man of the Century, Winston Churchill. The Class of 1965 is more aware than we are often willing to admit of the opportunities which have been offered to us. The townspeople voted for and built the modern new building we now occupy. Because of this, our horizons have been broadenedg some of us will follow new dreams formerly not considered. We are now exposed to much more lan- guage training and physical education. Our music department has also been amplified. The knowledge, the teaching ability, and the very personality of the faculty will have a far reaching effect upon this class. Many of us will go on to attend colleges and technical schools. Our teachers have worked diligently to help us develop our natural talentsg they struggled through those areas in which we have no native talent. We are a group of indi- viduals with no desire to have our individualism squelched. To appeal to a group of this sort, to make classwork stimulating to those highly motivated and yet not too difficult to those who are not, is the challenge our teachers accepted when they chose to teach in a public high school. lust how successful they have been is an open question, eternal and im- ponderable. If we are to be completely honest, many of us will have to confess that we have not used these four years to the fullest advantage. Older people say wasted time is the folly of youth. If they knew then what they know now, they too, might have profited from their op- portunities. We are not different. As they did, we too, will have to rise on stepping stones of our former selves to higher thingsf' But in another sense, next June sixth, graduation day, will be a day of rebirth for us. For some, it will mark the exit of formal education and the entrance into the business world. For others, it will inaugurate a time of military service to our country. For the remainder, graduation day will merely mark a step into the long corridor of higher education. Whatever the path we tread, these four years must have an important hearing upon what will follow. Periodically, we have stopped the merry-go- round of everyday life to take a good look at the brass ring. Our guidance department, in recognizing the difference between brass plate and solid brass. has contributed. Our report cards have made us take a sharp look at ourselves. These opportunities of meditation have helped. We are grateful for them. Tetra Anni Historiae will soon be part of our heritage. May they become a promise of a future self-fulfillment and self-acceptance. 6

A CKNO WLED GEMEN T OF SER VICE -,f X .ff ef ii MRS. EVA CASAVANT Yours was the greatest gift of all, Mrs. Eva Casavant, for together with history, problems of democracy, global geography, and economics, you taught us to thine own self be truef, Let it be said that you are a severe teacher, but let it never be said that any of us thought we could get away with doing our work half-heartedly, or shirking our respon- sibility in your classes. We acknowledge a debt of gratitude to a teacher who has helped us discipline ourselves. 8
