MR. ARTHUR E. BURKE The strength of a tree depends on its roots. With the help of our Superintendent, our roots have grown sturdy and staunch. He was an example to follow, a person to respect. Although he was seldom seen, his presence was always felt. He continually strove to help us and to benefit Turners Falls High School. We salute you, Mr. Burke. 4

The light in the forest. A shaft, piercing the dark uncer- tainty of our youth and guiding our steps toward greatness. An example to imitate, to respect, to admire. An application of inexhaustible spirit to the achievement of every goal. A reliable friend, a loyal supporter, an infallible leader; but most of all, a man. We met him as Freshmen, and through the years a strong bond has grown between us. His hearty sense of humor accented by a broad grin made every trial seem easier. With a strong sense of responsibility, he inspired us to make the most of every opportunity, never to give up when the going got rough. As our friendship grew, so did our respect and admiration for this man who greatly influenced our lives. The impression which he left on the Class of ’66 can never be dulled by time. He has led us to the climax of our high school career. And so, with pride in our hearts, the Class of ’66 has the honor of dedicating this yearbook to you, Mr. Bassett.

MR. WILLIAM A. COOK When we entered the halls of TFHS as Seniors, we saw a change. This change was a man — short in stature but tall in ideals. He was always willing to serve, to listen, to advise. We admired his sincerity, integrity, responsibility, and most of all his understanding. He upheld tradition yet encouraged progress. He played a very important role in shaping our lives. For your friendship and understanding, we thank you, Mr. Cook. 5
