Wellesley High School - Wellesleyan Yearbook (Wellesley, MA)

CLOSING THOUGHTS The feelings, thoughts, and emotions that are expressed in a year¬ book, are in a small way indicative of the warmth and depth that exists in the 1978 Senior class. The charisma and camaraderie that the students have brought forth and demonstrated to their parents, the faculty, and most importantly, to themselves have left lasting impressions. These impressions, the memories we now have, will never be forgotten. We dedicate this yearbook first to these people who have themselves created the memories, those students of Wellesley High School that in the future shall look at these pages and remember the experiences that shaped our lives. We also dedicate this book to Mr. Timothy Connors, whose unique personality affected us all and brought the Senior class closer than ever before. We also would like to thank Mrs. Steeves, who after 23 years and four principals, has finally graduated with the class of ’78. We dedicate it to the entire faculty, especially to Mr. Gerald Murphy and Mr. Wayne Hadlock whose energy and ability to understand sets them apart. Similarly, Mr. Ray Scanned, Jr., set a new tone in student teacher relationships. Whether teaching in the classroom or counseling after school, he proved himself to be an exceptional person. An important part of the 1978 Senior year were the Senior class offi¬ cers. Liz, Nancy, Sharon, and Sue put in a determined effort which allowed every class event to run smoothly and without flaw. Also, Mrs. Susan Plati, who ended this year as class advisor, can now be seen as the basketball coach of the Joshua Bombers. Mrs. Plati deserves much credit, and those that know her realize her genuine warmth. Probably the most important group that should be recognized is the 1978 Wellesleyan Staff. They learned how late night deadlines were more than a fantasy, and the dedication of certain members of the staff far outweighed the lapses in responsibility of others. To the editors: Sarah, Nancy, Alison, Martha, Karen, Susie, Kevin, Cindy, Lisa, Bar¬ bara, Nancy E., Lee, Carolyn, Kim, and Paul — a special thank you. To the rest of the staff, thanks again. Lastly, we would like to thank Mrs. Janice Barrett. Her contributions have been overwhelming, however, that is not what we shall remember most. Mrs. Barrett is a warm, genuine, and wonderful friend. She is a person whose personal strength is tremendous, and it was because of her character and her efforts that we completed the 1 978 Wellesleyan. To finish, we must say goodbye. This yearbook has meant a great deal to us, and we hope the memories of the Class of ’78 will remain strong through this book. Lauren Griffiths Bill Hayes As usual, Mr. Connors is friendly with everybody.
