DEDICATION With the graduation of the Class of '61, Pomp and Circumstance” will never again resound through the halls of Weldon E. Howitt High. After eight short years as a high school, Weldon E. I lowitt will become a junior high school. With the advent of the new term, the parents and students of District 22 will see a dream come true—the new lux- urious Farmingdale High School will comfortably house the high school students. Familiarity breeds warmth and love; therefore, it is with reluctance that the students leave your halls through which they hate walked so often. Your crowded cafeteria, marked up desks, gym transformed into night club for proms, and auditorium at assembly time will all lx- missed. It will be hard for the students to adjust to the surroundings of the new- high sch x)l; a new home must be lived in a while for it to he appreciated. The happy times all the high school students have had in your classrooms acquiring both subject matter and social and moral conduct will always be treasured. To the administration, to the faculty, to the students — to all those who have been a part of vour history, Weldon E. Howitt High, we dedicate this 1961 HI FIFE. Our dedi- cation is therefore a token of appreciation to all those who hate given Weldon E. Howitt I ligh the prestige it so richly deserves. 5
