’67 Throughout 1967 we, as Americans, have had to consider— U.S. launches new offensives in Vietnam! . . .Powell to be ousted from Congress? . . .Two indicted in LSD raid!. . .Aluminum prices hiked!. . .Volpe elected first four-year governor!. . .Chaos in Red China!. . .School Committee approves Metco Program!. . . These issues, however, have been only a part of the past year for Weston High School Students. As we reflect upon 1967, our thoughts mirror other events: the Thanks¬ giving victory. . .new freedom in the cafe¬ teria. . .“What did you say sin 0 2 was?’’. . . snatches of “Georgy Girl’’ in the locker room . . .the long night before the English paper was due (“if only I had started it sooner!’’) . . .the arrival at school at 8:30 to spend Saturday morning filling in 257 little squares for an IBM machine. . .vintage movies in Room 007. . .late afternoon rehearsals for BECKET, closely followed by intense prep¬ aration for OKLAHOMA. . .a new library growing even as we get off the bus each morning. . . 1967 has been an exciting year for the world and for Weston High, fast-moving and many- faceted. Despite its intangible nature, the year merits an attempt to portray it. Conse¬ quently, while admitting the impossibility of its being the experience, we offer you this book, in the belief that it reflects the true image of ’67. Weston High School

DEDICA TION For eight periods a day you descend in “one swell loop” upon those who haven’t learned their “vocab.” After having someone’s “ears on toast’’ because of a forgotten i-stem, you stop to help the ones who are “out in left field with the sun in their eyes without a glove.’’ Your enthusiastic love of language makes Caesar an adven¬ ture and inspires those of us who are not so inclined to decline nouns of all “ilks.’’ With your imaginative approach to teaching, you fill our “little pink brains’’ with songs to remember which verbs take the dative, memory tricks to tell the difference between “num” and “nonne” and gimmicks to recognize grammatical “horses of all feathers.’’ Just as you can organize the clauses of a lengthy sen¬ tence with an easy familiarity, so can you calm a confused class meeting or a worried exam-taker with a casual touch of warm humor. Your sincere concern for us and your belief in our potential gives us the spirit and the courage to carry through a project. And as the greatest gift of all, you offer a high standard of moral and intellect¬ ual excellence, providing a demanding but rewarding challenge for each student. In appreciation of and in gratitude for your abundant, unselfish giving, we, the Class of 1967,dedicate our yearbook to you, Mrs. Margaret Fernald.
