Master minds at work Thinking it over ee eee ee et Be _ Superintendent's Message Success is never a sudden accomplishment. It is always the result of preparation. Those who “make good” in life have had the foresight and determination to prepare them- selves for it. Tantasqua High School can help all of you get the best of preparation, but only if you want the best badly enough to do something about it yourself. MR. WALTER E. SCOTT Have you ever wished to know the secret of a famous person’s success? Usually successful people are just ordinary human beings, with this exception: they work a little longer and a little harder than most of us. They let neither dis- couragement, nor doubt, nor seeming failure stand in the way of thei r ultimate success. You will find this particularly true should you visit Hollywood and become acquainted with some of the people you have come to know through the parts they portray on the screen. One such very accomplished person says, “I have noticed that usually the right door has a way of appearing when you have really made yourself ready to open it.” Opportunity is not the elusive creature of the business world that pessimists would have us believe. It is always ‘present for those who can recognize it and are prepared to seize it. It escapes only those who lack sufficient interest VAY hea LOT or proper preparation. ROBERT E. BRUCE Principal’s Message In less than two years Tantasqua has grown from an idea to reality. Through the co-operation of those who have an interest in the school, in the faculty, and in the student body, we have grown into a school that has attracted nation- wide attention—attention not only to the building, but also to the school’s program of studies and to its forward- looking approach to the problems of education. There has been a steady growth in school spirit and participation in all school activities. Let us all strive for that time when we can say, “I am proud to be a part of Tantasqua.” footed é In Loving Memory of DOROTHY H. GERO 1938-1955 God calls our loved ones, but we lose not wholly What He hath given; They live on earth in thought and deed as truly As in His Heaven. John Greenleaf Whittier Dedication OUR BELOVED PRINCIPAL This June as we, the Senior Class, graduate from Tantasqua, there will be in our hearts a feeling of sadness tempering the joy of the occasion; for we shall miss the kindly smile and warm understanding that were always so readily bestowed upon us by our beloved Principal, Henry Card. Many of us spent our High School days under the wise direction of Mr. Card, and as we receive our diplomas at graduation we shall feel the presence of his spirit beside us. Mr. Card was with us through the long and difficult days of the planning and building of our fine school. With untiring energy and devotion he and his colleagues laid the cornerstone of our school on a bed rock of dedication to the highest principles of education. Henry Card lived to see our school firmly established and to see its first graduating students go forth to prove their value in the challenging world of today. He lives on in Tantasqua, for his noble spirit is a part of all that our school represents. In deep appreciation and in loving memory we dedicate this, the second Tantasquan, to Henry W. Card.

Membership in the chapter is based upon Scholarship, Service, Leadership, and Character. Eleven new members were inducted into the society this year.

Junior High Chorus The Junior High School Chorus was not organized until after February of this year, and it is regrettable that we do not have a picture of this energetic group. For this organization, along with the Ninth Grade Chorus, under the direction of Mr. Corson and Mr. Dexter, have rehearsed faithfully for two months to present what is to be a masterful production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s, The Mikado. As we go to press, we wish all success to this musical enterprise. The Mikado The complete cast YUM YUM NAHKI-POO KATISHA POOH BAH Art Exhibit Left: Mr. Hendrickson and his inter- nationally famous artists. Last fall, about November, the students at Tantasqua were surprised and quite pleased, to learn that we were going to exchange art exhibits with a school in Vienna, Austria. The art exhibit opened November 17, 1955 in Boston and was sponsored by the International Friendship League, of which His Excellency Christian A. Herter and Mrs. Herter are members. Several students also went to Boston to appear on Dave Garroway’s program, “Today.” They were: Barbara Streeter, Colen Lindell, Margo Shelden, David Lyman, Carol Monette, and Jean Tuomi. On November 21, 22, and 23 the exhibit was on display in our school, and later the University of Massachusetts requested a loan of the show for exhibition. A week later the exhibit was sent to the Kunstvolkhochschule school in Vienna, Austria. An excellent display from Austria was also on view at Tantasqua.

We have chosen to quote Benjamin Franklin for a very special reason. Actually, he is the father of a large segment of our business because it was he who invented the first bifocal lens! The investment''—as Franklin puts it—that you are now making in knowledge will go far to insure your success in later life. And further, the dividends that you will receive later will be proportional to the degree of mastery which you attain in your studies. American Optical Company is also currently making a large investment in knowl- edge to insure its future. Our new Research Center, staffed by learned scientists and technicians in the fields of optics, stands as a fine example. It is our beliet that these people, working for the Company to improve the vision of human beings the world over, will be paying dividends for many, many years to come.

We wish to thank you for your contribution to our yearbook. You have helped to make possible the publication of the TANTASQUAN last year, when it rated a second prize among New England Yearbooks, and, this year, when we are aim- ing even higher. We also believe that the honors won by the TANTASQUAN make the ad space in this book valuable to our supporters. So this cooperative enterprise of the students and the merchants of this area works for the mutual benefit of all. Another great advantage in Yearbook adver- tising, which we should like to point out, is the fact that Yearbooks are cherished and read by our students and their families for many years, so your advertising copy is before the eyes of innumerable customers over a long period of time. Again, thank you for your patronage, and, hoping it will increase your business during the following year, we remain, Very sincerely The Staff of the TANTASQUAN A M TOOL AND DIE CO., INC.
