IN ME MORI AM Robert Timothy Gladwin Had he lived, this would have been the graduation year for Robert Timothy Glad¬ win. His goal was the medical profession, and high school was only the introduction to further scientific studies in college. Of course, Timmy never attained his goal, but in the hope that others could, the Robert Timothy Gladwin Scholarship Fund was set up to help biology students of distinction. By means of this fund, Timmy ' s dream of being a doctor lives on. Timmy ' s memory lives on, as well, in the minds of his fellow students and friends. He is described as a person who loved to live and who never let a moment pass without getting something from it. Timmy was a good baseball player and an avid and very accomplished golfer. He also enjoyed competing in all water sports. He had a quick wit, an able mind, and wasn ' t afraid to use either. Would that we all exhibited more of the traits that Timmy showed. To us, it seems tragic that the life was snuffed out of one in whom the will to live was so strong. Let us remember. 5

DEDICATION I know that all of us have had a soreness of spirit since Miss Teed ' s death. To summon up a remembrance of her days with us is urgent. Miss Teed knew who she was and why she was here. In her teaching she was incandes¬ cent and artful; she had a sureness of touch. Her mind ran joyous races. Incisive words tasted good to her. I used to come away from her classes renewed and always sur¬ prised. She dredged up from some mysteri¬ ous source energies that never flagged. This sort of teaching going on day after day, year after year? How could she sustain it? Obviously, her intense commitment would never allow her to be oth r than she was. She asked so little for herself but gave so generously of her substance. She was gal¬ lant and strong; I never heard a murmur of self-pity or complaint; she accepted her lot with grace. Hers was a rare maturity which came from her realization that “the unexamined life is not worth living ' How good it is to think of her and her achievements. How necessary it is that we be sensitive to her afterglow. W. A. Crockett Alice M. Teed There we shall rest and we shall see; we shall see and we shall love; we shall love and we shall praise. Thus will it be WITHOUT END AT THE END. St. Augustine i

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE To the Class of 1968, Looking back over a score of years as Principal of Wellesley Senior High School, I can honestly say that no year has been so challenging as this, your senior year. As a class you have been aware of the day-to-day prob¬ lems that have made this a most lively school year. Your own class, together with your schoolmates in the two lower classes, has inspired more complete dialogues among stu¬ dents, teachers, and parents than ever before. It is to be hoped that with this exchange of views a better under¬ standing has been arrived at among all concerned. No healthy society needs to fear differences of opinion among its members. Such differences of opinions in our school life and learning how to deal with them will better prepare each of you to cope with all the differences of opinions you will meet in the years to come. The world you are entering, whether it be on a college campus, in the world of work, or in the armed forces of your country, is faced with more serious problems than ever before. May it be true that your high school years have given you a better understanding of how best to attack all these problems with a firm determination to give of your best in seeking a solution. Good luck and God bless you all. Samuel M. Graves
