Principal's Note Editors' Note Dr. David E. Weingast You have chosen a novel format for your yearbook. A dictionary is an ingenious device for memorializing your high school days. This dictionary and its contents arc all too familiar while you are students at Wecquahic. But years hence, you will find that people, events, and places become blurred by time. Some things of epic importance today will become hazy and uncertain as they recede into the past. Then you will find this dictionary a special source of pleasure, of sentiment, of memories. There’s another facet about this dictionary that interests me and that has symbolic meaning. One of the best things this school can do for any student is to give him skill in research techniques. I.ct this dictionary-yearbook be your reminder to look it up in the years ahead. Whether you become scholars, researchers, professional or business people, you’ll serve yourself and your responsibilities better if you make it a habit to look it up.” If you want to speak with authority, if you want your opinions to be respected, then give your statements the strong underpinning of validated fact,-of solid research. Don’t guess. Ixx k it up. This is the real message of the Legend of January, 1961. David E. Weingast Principal Andrew Ettin, Leon Osterwcil Surely no editors of any large publication ever received more cooperation from their staff than we received from ours. All of the staff, from Mr. Tumin to the typists, contributed countless hours and immeasurable energy to the production of this Legend. It is they to whom we, the editors, are indebted and the)1 to whom we exend our deepest gratitude and thanks for a job done faithfully, conscientiously, and well. Adviser's Like all dictionaries, we. your dictionary, have made no judgments on you; we have merely recorded your words, your deeds, your usage. The information we used was supplied by your answers, casual or thoughtful, to our questionnaire. This is how we arrived at a definition of you. When your children are of high school age, you will be able to assess the accuracy of that definition. Were you really like that? Those books and movies and popular records you indicated were your favorites, do you remember them now? Those sayings, what about them? The activities you entered, the clubs, the offices you held ? Time will indeed tell. Edward Tumin Note Edward Tumin
