THE MUSIC MAN As music teacher for thirty years, Mr. Herbert Maynard has embodied the spirit of the lion. His firm belief in educating a well-rounded person has helped his stu- dents to believe in themselves, in the school, and in their ability to make great things happen. He has strived, and suc- ceeded, in instilling pride and positive thinking in his students by teachi ng the whole student, not just the musician. He has also taught his students to live for the present and to look toward the future with hope and excitement. This year will be his last as a teacher. Mr. Maynard will be leaving the teaching profession to explore other fields. He will long be remembered for his dedication and many contributions: conducting the chorus and football, concert, and prize- winning stage bands; coaching the tennis team, and organizing the skiing program. Even more importantly, though, Mr. May- nard will be remembered for his success in imparting his wisdom and pride to many students — musician and non- musician alike. He has been a role model for both students and the faculty, and his energy and enthusiasm will be missed by all. ...

PRINCIPAL DR. MARK R. MASTERSON Many will remember you as the Super Bowl Class”. Few will recognize that you were also the team that almost won the Sportmanship Award when the competition included almost seventy central Massachusetts teams. 1 am most impressed by the diversity of your strengths. You have car- ried the yearbook, the senior play, and a number of teams. You are academically aggressive and competent; you have won many art and music awards. Several of you have ap- plied to some of the most competitive schools in the country and have every reason to expect to be accepted. As a class you have made the most of your educational op- portunities. My most enjoyable memory of you to date is being in the play Get Smart” with you. Best wishes for con- tinued happiness and success. ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL DR. PAULA BURKE-UCHE I think of each one of you and your futures, hoping that you will find joy and true fulfillment in the careers you choose. 1 wish you a life long discovery of your talents, interests and the genius that is unique to each one of you. Everyone is a star. May life bring each of you the love, friends, education and op- portunities to enable you to be your true selves. I wish each of you the love spoken of in Corinthians 1, 13: If I speak in the tongues of men and angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if 1 have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude; Love does not in- sist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
