'TTIEZ Ei ICHR Looking Back Over Four Years C2LJXSS-- 1963 Mr. Albert Bessette, senior guidance counselor has hs hands full writing references and checking college applica tions. On the following pages, we, the Class of 1963, pass in procession. The two hundred sixty seniors shown here stand on the threshold of the future, with one foot in the past and one foot striding quickly, if uncertainly, into the realm of the future. As we pass over this threshold, we shall never entirely leave our past. We shall always remember the tired ioy of a well-fought football game, the grueling agony of final exams, the wild joy of each New Year, and the quiet solemnity of Graduation. Yet, in looking back we must not forget the future. lt is a strange new world, kind yet cruel, that lies ahead of us. This world of the future is in our hands, destiny is ours to shape. Contained in the labyrinth of our destiny is that elusive phantom called success. This.success is not found, it is formed-formed by hands whose skills are born of knowl- edge. May these hands be guided in the darkness of the Unseen and the Unknown by the lantern of learning. First Row: Nancy Duda, Gay Gruppioni, Jon Wilska, Gail Gruppioni, Audrey Benoit, Betty Aiken. Second Row: John VonHone, Dave Simpson, John O'Connor, Richard Wiseman, Fran Brady.
