VD le, C. To the FOUNDERS of this SCHOOL... When the news that a regional school, Tantasqua, was being planned, many people doubted that it could be done. Your courage in the face of these doubts, and your foresight to see beyond custom and tradition, made it possible for us to attend this school. For this we give you our everlasting thanks and gratitude.

May we present to you “Taskie,” who represents for us the Tantasqua school spirit. - Word comes from the sponsor that Taskie has been at the meetin gs when we prepared this book. Have we had fun? Ask Taskie! stelenowledgments Joseph Poirier, a Ninth grader, drew ‘““Taskie’’ for us throughout the book. Much of the pho- tography in the book was done by Purdy Stu- dios, 367 Boylston Street, Boston 16, Mass. The Country Courier has been kind to lend us pictures which we have acknowledged on some pages. Mr. Paul Henrickson, our art teacher, has given us much assistance and Miss Estelle Paige, of our English department, has helped us collect ads.
