1 SUPERINTENDENT’S OFFICE SUPERINTENDENT ' S MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF 1981 As this message goes to press, our country is settling down after the return of the hostages from Iran and after President Reagan’s initial days in office. The contradictions about what to do in the hostage situation and what to do about inflation exemplify the complexity that so many of us find confounding in the 1980 ' s. As you graduate, are you, too, to be confounded, to be immobilized by the lack of sure, time-tested answers? I hope not. While you may look with sophisticated disdain at the work ethic of the old Horatio Alger stories (now collector ' s items!), most of you do indeed realize that, while there are no guarantees in life, hard work and a positive attitude do correlate highly with success . . . success in the sense of challenge, self-fulfillment, material rewards, and deserved leisure. I suspect that many of you have noted the attitude displayed by the recent Vietnamese people, who as outsiders and as refugees from severe hardships, appreciate our country and the openness of its society so much more than those of us who take it for granted. Letters and diary accounts written by some Vietnamese students and reprinted in the Landmark have brought this appreciation home to me. So, while ‘‘nobody promised you a rose garden, your hard work will make it ever so much more likely. Our best wishes go with you ... for the success and happiness that follow from doing something worthwhile. Edward P. Yaglou PETER FARRELLY, Assoc. Superintendent FORREST GILMORE, Dir. of Special Ed. PETER LARRATT, Bus. Mgr. Controller 18

JANE MOULTON Dear Members of the Class of 1981, One of the real advantages of being Principal is that I get the opportunity to share with you some of my thoughts and feelings as part of your yearbook Every senior class brings with it special memories and friendships and a personality all its own. The Class of 1981 has proven its mettle as a class and as individuals through what have been a series of four rather turbulent years for educati on in general and Wachusett specifically. You have witnessed a successful campaign for a much needed and long overdue building program; have gone through a most uncomfort¬ able labor dispute; willingly accepted the discomforts and major inconveniences of actual construction; and, in your senior year, are seeing your school face the onslaught of Proposition 2 ' h. Through it all you have remained a friendly, cooperative and alive class. For three years your efforts in building a float for the annual Homecoming Parade produced only mediocre results but in the fall of your senior year you put it all together and emerged as 1. It is this willingness to roll with the punches, remaining spirited and together through several crises, and the ability to put it all together when it counts that will be my brightest memory of the Class of 1981. Now as you leave Wachusett to pursue your individual dreams, I wish you well and hope that all of your dreams come true. I would ask each of you individually to remember the many people here who helped you reach this point in your lives — your parents, friends, teachers and others who, sometimes at great sacrifice to themselves, have helped you reach where you are today. It is rapidly becoming your turn to assist others as you have been helped! If ever I — or Wachusett — can be of service please don’t hesitate to call. Good Luck and God Bless! Keep in touch. Sincerely, Harold M. Lane, Jr. Principal MICHAEL PREGOT BERNARD TREMBLAY ADMINISTRATION 19
