N APPRECIATIO The four years we have spent here at W.H.S. have seen us grow from wild, irresponsible freshmen to proud and stately seniors, ready to take our place in society as conscientious citizens. This startling transformation has been generated more than anything by the influence of members of the faculty who, through their inspiration, have played an important part in our development. It has been said that the best teacher makes you want to learn. These men and women have done so by showing a sincere interest in us as individuals, and they have bestowed upon us much more than the gift of knowledge. They have given their patience, humor, understanding, and wisdom, and in so doing have set up a pattern which we will strive to emulate. Of these wonderful people there are certain individuals that all of us have felt close to and that we have been proud to have as teachers. We offer them our deepest appreciation for all they have done for us. First off on our list is our class advisor, Mrs. Mary Ann Montemurro, who has worked many long, tedious hours for the welfare of our class. While we are well a- ware of the many,many frustrations which she encountered on the bumpy four-year path with us, we hope that these memories will be overshadowed by our concentrated group endeavors which made for an outstanding Junior Prom and by the maturity which we exhibited in our senior activities. Mrs. Montemurro, we wish you, God Speed in your future at W.H.S. While time may erase some of the more serious as- pects of our education, there are certain idiosyncrasies which we will always associate with these people: how Mr. Egan used to call us pineys and his hat with the little feather, the appearance of Mrs. Brown's head above a stack of big, brown envelopes, and how we had to fight the sophomores to get to see herg Mr. Domville's famous quotation, HKatafrax to the Sincsateu, and his extensive French vocabulary, Laissex faire and '6Donnez-moi un biere g the times Mr. Welch said that he wished he could join the girls' hockey team because the games were so cateredg Mr. MacDonald's great invention, the Mac-O-Vac, and the way he used to say girls are inferior, the Charlie Brown Christmas cards Mr. Dinovi gave us and the time he kicked the package of paper towels all over the roomg how Mr. Johnson used to look grouchy in the hall to scare the underclassmen, and the stories he tole about his favorite cousin who kissed him in the Acme parking lot, the way Mr. Bruscemi always called us beatnicks and his constant worry about his kids g Mr. Robinson's version of the Civil War and the way he used to kiss all the girls on their birthdaygMiss Usinger's ability to give us the get up and go attitude we needed and her threats to leave us at Ancorag Mr. ,Iengehino's efforts to show the girls in his drivers education classes how an engine works, Miss Valeno's diminutive figure and her two favorite words, Dear Sir . We will always remember these and other experiences that have added freshness and vision to our education. As we advance on the road to maturity, our highest aspiration will be to live up to the standards they have set and we hope that some day they will be able to say of each of us with pride, He was my student .

DEDICATIO Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education the human mind is our fundamental resource. J. F. Kennedy We the Class of 1964, feel that we can justly dedicate our yearbook to the ideals of education which John Fitzgerald Kennedy, thirty-fifth President of the United States, held in great esteem throughout his term as President. John F. Kennedy stressed not only the need for an education but the need for physical fitness in teenagers. He knew that the key to a better life for all United States citizens was a good education. We, the Class of 1964-, hope that with our education we may become good citizens of the United States.
