FOREWORD Throughout high school, the presence of books has always been the dominating factor of our education. Without books as teaching and learning aids, we never could have increased our knowledge as much as we have. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.” The opening of a book opens pathways to adventure, to science, to the real and the fictional and to the languages. Sometimes, illustrations and photographs accent the highlights of a book or illuminate the unexplainable. No matter what the subject, books are sentinels of our storehouse of knowledge. As you open the 1964 Lion’s Roar and leaf through its pages, the chronicle of our history unfolds. Read not to contradict and confute; . . . nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and to consider” . . . through pictures and sketches of our four years spent at West Boylston Jr.-Sr. High School. Let this book awaken memories in the years to come. The Editors

He is constantly striving to overcome what- ever barriers may face him and is usually successful. His patience and interest in every student have given us confidence to reach for the highest goals in life. Therefore, to express our sincere gratitude and fond appreciation, we present the first copy of the 1964 Lion’s Roar to Mr. John A. Case.
