Dedication Appreciation is an attribute rarely found and never fully expressed. It is with ap- preciation of his many kindnesses, his untiring patience, and his sympathetic un- derstanding that we dedicate the Terrier 1963 to Mr. James H. Erickson, friend, teacher, and dedicated public servant. Foreword Each man is the handiwork of the Lord, but he is also a unique creation, subiect to many in- fluences and molded by many hands: The devoted hands of teachers who have pointed the way to learning and offered the keys to knowledge, The artistic hands that formed our crude efforts into things of beauty, The skilled hands that guided our unsure fingers at unfamiliar tasks, The athletic hands that taught us the game of life by encouraging the spirit of competition, The firm hands of administration who have upheld the ideals on which our school is built, The willing hands of those who served us so well and without whom no school and no class could prosper, The unseen hands of a loyal school committee who undertook the responsibilities of our education, The loving hands of parents and family who cared so much and sacrificed so self- lessly, ' The outstretched hands of classmates, eager to be understanding and to be under- stood. These hands are the source and the symbol of our yearbook. Co-Editors-in-Chief

Miss Angela Burke Miss Frances Burke A Tribute A retirement, like a commencement, is a beginning, yet an ending, a fulfillment, yet an opportunity, a satisfaction, yet a regret. The four teachers pictured on this page represent a teaching accomplishment rare in the annals of any school. These four have touched the lives of many during the more than one hundred years which they have given to instructing West Springfield High School students. Generations of students who remember them with grati- tude and affection will find it impossible to imagine them in any capacity but that of educa- tors forever dispensing knowledge and imparting wisdom. They and their accgmplishments have been an inspiration to innumerable classes. These four dedicated, devoted people and all that they symbolized will never be forgotten.
