FOREWORD The high school period is a time of transformation from adolescence into maturity. It is filled with the triumphs and frus¬ trations common only to this particular phase of our lives. All of the various emotions which we have experienced during this time may be compared to the four seasons of the year. We often felt the winter of impersonality, isolation, and injustice. We experienced the springtime found in warm friend¬ ships, the birth of new philosophies, and the unclouded en¬ thusiasm of youth. The summertimes were marked by feelings of exuberance, vitality, and joys of living. Our last days at Wachusett, especially, are represented by fall. We have gathered together the knowledge gained in past years. We now look back with nostalgia at the days past and gaze into the future with promises of new springtimes to come. Another expression of ourselves may be found in our music. The songs that are so popular among high school students are actually concrete examples of our own ideas, our emotions, our protestations. They express aloud the abstract feelings which we experience within ourselves. The harsh, discordant, and even frantic sounds of some songs echo the. same feelings of frustra¬ tion, rebellion, and confusion that so characterize our lives. The vibrant, carefree, and more harmonious tunes represent our ap¬ preciation of merely being alive; of being free. They represent our youth in general. The softer, more melancholy type of song, al¬ most a lament, illustrates the disillusionment we so often must face, our unfulfilled quest for truth and reality; the search into our own minds to try and discover ourselves. The 1967 yearbook is, itself, a third symbol of this stage of our lives. It includes the comparison of the four seasons and the music of our times to our four years of high school, yet it is more than just that; it represents another vital factor in the forma¬ tion of our character. The following pages are filled with mem¬ ories; memories of our school, our teachers, our friends. More than that, these pages reflect four years of our lives; four years that will never be forgotten.
