IM Hi THOMASTON HIGH SCHOOL THOMASTON CONNECTICUT THE OWL 1967 FOREWORD As the class of 1967 passes through it’s senior year at Thomaston High School, it leaves many, many fond memories behind. Pictured in this yearbook are some of those unforgettable moments that unfortunately will never be relived ... achievements in scholastic endeavors, frenzied sports events, and perhaps most important the typical, average, short lived seconds that go unnoticed everyday. It is quite appropriate that the theme of this,year’s Owl be “The Times They Are A Changin’ ”, for the underlying change that is taking place in Thomaston as well as in the world during “Our Year”—1967 can easily be portrayed in every picture. This yearbook is a documentary report of these changes as well as a summary of our experiences at Thomaston High School, which will always be looked on in the future as a milestone of our lives. It is with a feeling of great satisfaction that our class presents the 1967 edition of the Owl. To Thomas F. Reynolds, Whose unselfish interest in our class and the development of the school have made him an outstanding teacher. Whose persistent smile good'sense of humor and personal candor have made him a friend to all. Whose understanding character, intelligence, and unselfishness in giving of his time, have made him an enjoyable person for everyone to know. We the class of 1967, with deepest appreciation, admiration and greatest pride—dedicate our yearbook. 4 OUR OWN MR. REYNOLDS 5 SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE I believe that keeping democracy strong is not only extremely important for you as a student attending and graduating from Thomaston High School, but should also be high on your list of what you want. When our nation was very young, it established public schools for the purpose of making democracy strong. Democracy, “we the people”, has never before been of such significance in our lives. Democracy in America and abroad is being confronted with unbelievable challenges of the gravest nature. Your individual efforts will help a strong democracy resolve these issues that are emerging in every direction. Democracy will continue to operate as long as you live if you have learned in school and at home, to respect the rights of others, to meet your obligations, and to solve problems through open discussion and compromise. You have a responsibility to keep democracy strong. This responsibility becomes ever so much important now due to the complicated problems facing democracy, and our decisions at the polls will have greater impact than at any other time in our history. Your decisions on problems need to be based upon broad facts, not narrow prejudices; on sound information, not misinformation; on clear thinking, and not emotions. If your decisions are based on the above, democracy will be strengthened and will keep working for you. Dr. Marvin H. Yaffe Superintendent of Schools PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE You, the CLASS of 1967, will be graduated this June. As you leave Thomaston High School you will have earned a diploma and will have achieved a certain freedom. Some of you may judge yourselves to be completely free. Today we are constantly expected to relate freedom to civil rights, to undeclared war, and to many individuals who are involved in particular situations that become front page news. Any of us may become confused as we honestly try to analyze these crucial matters. Let us examine a few definitions of freedom. J. S. Mill states, “The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good, in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs or impede their efforts to obtain it.” C. Kingsley states, “There are two freedoms, the false where one is free to do what he likes, and the true where he is free to do what he ought.” Hamilton Wright Mabie states, “Real freedom comes from the mastery, through knowledge, of historic conditions and race character which makes possible a free and intelligent use of experience for the purpose of progress.” From these definitions of freedom, I would point out at least three limits to each of you in this Senior Class. First, your freedom is limited by your not having the right to interfere with the freedom of others. Secondly, your freedom is limited by laws. Thirdly, your freedom is limited by the amount of knowledge you have of conditions concerning you in the present as well as in the past. In your school life you have been taught to respect the rights of all your classmates. Also, you have been required to abide by necessary school rules and regulations. While you have attended school you have had opportunity to gain knowledge, and now you are required, in order to compete and meet standards of our present day society, to continue your learning and to increase your knowledge either formally or informally. Therefore, you should basically understand what freedom you have as you move to new challenges in life. Congratulations on all your achievements to the present. I do wish you continued success and happiness in the future. Always value your freedom highly and accept its limits willingly. Herbert W.

Ski Club 4 My dear friends, With the following few lines, I want to express my thankfulness to all of you, since you helped me to have- a very enjoyable and experience-full year here at Thomaston. I have got a very good image of what the Americans are like, their way of thinking, working and associating. The same I hope you of Germany even if you have not been there. I probably won’t realize as much as I will later how much worth this year really was, since so much influenced myself. One of the most valuable experiences of these ten months was certainly that I could get to know so many of you and by doing so I learned to understand you better and to associate with anyone of you, not only with those whose interests matched mine. To all of you I want to say “Danke schon”, that you made my stay a very happy and interesting one. Also thank you to all the teachers, who spent often, time on helping me to get along with my school work and to fit into the school life in general. I thought of America as a beautiful, rich, and free country; and as I leave now I know that all of these characteristics are true. My greatest wish, which I hope to come true, is to come back to the States and to continue my life here. And if this happens, I should be glad to meet you again, since all of you are my friends. I will miss you and my whole community here, but I will keep in touch with you in my letters I will send you after I am back home. So, with my best wishes for the future, to all of you and to your country, and may you be rewarded for all your friendliness. God bless you all.
