Dedication: Mr. Frey Mr. Raymond Frey is one of the best-known and best-liked members of the Academy faculty. For the past ten years his art room has been the haven of many artistically-inclined students. Under his watchful eye many paintings, advertising posters, dance decorations, and other creations have emerged. During World War II, Mr. Frey served in the U.S. Navy for two years. In 1952 he received his B.S. degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University, where he was captain of the varsity track team for three years. Before joining the Academy staff in 1957 he served as packaging consultant for a well-known package-designing and manufacturing firm, and was later engaged in evaluating art for the Tudor Press in Boston. At the Academy Mr. Frey is perhaps best known as “Coach Frey. His cross-country and track teams always produce an impressive record and have won several state championships in recent years. In appreciation for all he has done and is doing for the students of St. Johnsbury Academy, the Senior Class proudly dedicates the 1968 Lamp to Mr. Frey.

To the Class of 1968: You, the Class of 1968, are the 125th class to leave St. Johnsbury Academy to find your “place in the sun.” It is an unfortunate coincidence that you represent the fourth class to graduate during a 25th year anniversary faced with the awesome responsibility associated with armed conflict. In 1868, the first quarter century class left the school in the heat of the Civil War, an internal strife with wounds unhealed today. The graduates in 1918 were thrown full force into the fires of World War 1. The Centennial class m .1943 faced the challenges of a second world conflict. Here, in 1968. the Quasquicentennial class is deeply involved in a strange undeclared war with fantastically divergent public opinions. 1 hope you are better prepared to understand the world about you preceding classes. You have been given the tools with which to work and you counseletKo use these tools in your pursuit of a future goal. Howfyoti actually utilize the resources at your disposal will, in a great measure, be the evideiuteraTOr confidenc in you. Your task is great.
