Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1968 volume:

The 1968 Owl Staff Presents THE OWL THOMASTON HIGH SCHOOL F oreword These are carefree years, yet years of heavy pressure. Just as rain follows sun according to season; so do we move on from phase to phase—for to everything there is a time. We hope that we have pictured some of the moments which have made this year a memorable one. It is with sincere pleasure that we present the 1968 OWL. 2 To Every Thing There Is A Season . . . With sincere appreciation for your kindness and understanding both in and out of school we, the Class of 1968, dedicate our yearbook to our friend, Mr. Edward Sluzenski 5 Contents Theme Dedication Administration and Faculty Seniors Classes Organizations Athletics ... 63 Sponsors and Patrons FACULTY AND ADMINISTRATION A time to give, A time to receive. Turn, turn, turn 7 Dr. Marvin Yaffe Principal’s Message Nathan Pusey, President of Harvard University recently stated, “We live in a time of such rapid change and growth of knowledge that only he who is in a fundamental sense a scholar— that is, a person who continues to learn and inquire—can hope to keep pace.” You, as members of this graduating class, are faced with this particular responsibility of keeping up with the pace. When we speak of pace we generally think of some type of a race. A race means to compete and one enters a race to strive to be the winner. The winner sets the final pace to the finish line. There can be only one winner of any race but Grantland Rice, in his poem, Brave Life—From The Songs of the Stalwart, raises a question, in the following lines, for each of you to answer: “If my opponent in the fray should prove to be a stronger foe— Not of his making but because the destinies ordained it so; If he should win—and I should lose—although I did my utmost part. Is my reward the less than his if he should strive with equal heart?” In many ways our daily efforts cause us to hold to a certain pace. Each of you may differ in your rate of work toward your chosen goals but you will be constantly challenged to improve in order to attain those goals. Today this definitely means you need to continue your education beyond your senior high school grade. What you study and learn depends on your interests and abilities, but it is most important that you do it. Stay with the pace and endeavor to set the pace—at least the best possible pace for accomplishing your aims and desires. It is my privilege to be your principal. I am proud of you as individuals and as the Thomaston High School Senior Class of 1968. To each of you I sincerely wish happiness, good fortune and firm courage in all your future years. Herbert W. DeVeber Mr. Herbert DeVeber Superintendent’s Message The world to which we returned this past school year looks very different from the previous year’s world. A great change has taken place in at least one area, evident in riots in Connecticut’s cities. Much has been written apprising us that only a small minority is directly involved; that the riots arc not related to specific goals; and that the riots sometimes occur in the face of tremendous efforts made by cities, such as New Haven, to resolve problems. Unfortunately, it appears that more than likely the shadow of riots will spread as a yearly occurence in America. What can education do to help us resolve or temper this new problem—a problem which makes today’s world look different from the world of last year? John Gardner, Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare, recently said of the riots, “It is a problem of social building, of lifting people who in many case9 desperately need further education in order to be employable and who, in a state of a very inadequate education, are not able even to provide their children with a good start in life.” We sincerely hope that the education given to you in the Thomaston schools has equipped you with the values, skills, knowledge, understandings, and attitudes necessary to meet the challenges of a changing culture, whether or not your plans are to continue formal education. The success of your education depends, in part, on how you relate in society to the needs of the individual and how well you develop closer cooperation with other peoples in maintaining relationships mutually beneficial to all.
