The boys — Ready for the test? Looking bock over the past four years, we seniors count the I faculty here at WHS as among our blessings. More than just instructors, they have been our friends, always ready to help us with a tough physics problem or a make-up typing assign- I ment. We ' ll remember Miss Milliken ' s wonderful enthusiasm over United States History, a zest which we found contagious, and Mrs. Travis ' stoicism as we cooked our HCL and H 2 SO 4 . Many is the Monday morning when we laughed at Mr. Kotkov ' s Happy Valley Country Club as we probed the mys¬ teries of the Spanish language . . . this year we were happy to welcome new faculty members to WHS, but sorry to lose Mr. Grindle. Next year we will certainly miss Mr. Hayward, whose help with the Vaudeville and A.A. has been invalu¬ able. Words are not enough to express our deep apprecia¬ tion for all he has done. Good lunches in the cafeteria have been responsible for more than one diet, but we ' re not complaining. Mr. Finigan ' s good-humored math classes, his invincible icemen, and Mr. Skerry’s Judas Priest! we will long remember, along with What’s this class? Madame Genicot’s cheerful Bonjour!” Gym classes under Miss Barnes and Mr. Battino have proved lots of fun, as have Mr. Withington’s Glee Clubs. Ski champ and English expert Mr. Ulin, concert pianist Mr. Power, and Bobby Burns connois¬ seur Dan O ' Donnell have brightened up our classes too. We ' ve liked Mr. Cooper’s bow ties, and Mr. Fitt ' s poetry reci¬ tations, especially his Cremation of Sam McGee.” Some of us have enjoyed Mr. Fitts’ English classes for three years now, and under his guiding hand we ' ve read some Shakespeare, studied the dictionary, and brushed up on a little grammar now and then . . . Mr. Branley, Mr. Averse, and Mr. Weafer have given us those coveted green slips of paper called licenses in a driver-training program that ' s tops . . . Mr. Morse ' s inexhaustible energy with speech classes, cross coun¬ try teams, and his countless cries of Curtain Going Up! have bewildered every one of us . . . We admire these and so many other things about the faculty, things that have made four memorable years for us here in Winchester High School. 10 Anyone lose a cot?

Too often, people do not realize how much they have enjoyed a particular event in their lives until it is just a mem¬ ory. And so, just before graduation, we seniors compile a yearbook, a sort of mass memoir. The yearbook is an op¬ portunity to look back over the past four years, trying to encompass as much as possible between its two covers. There is so much for us to remember — everything from our first football game to our first prom .... from Freshman Algebra to Senior Physics. Football games and proms have been lots of fun for us all. But a successful academic high school career has been first and foremost all along to pre¬ pare us for a job or for college, and no one has helped us more in this respect than the faculty at WHS. From the day we entered the Wadleigh Building as somewhat frightened frosh ' til the day we were handed our diplomas, the faculty was there to help us. Each and every teacher has taken an interest in our work, encouraging, guiding, and advising us whenever possible. Without faculty assistance we would have had no Girls ' Intramural Council, no Science Club, none of the extra-curricular activities that have been as profitable as they ' ve been enjoyable. The teachers have been behind every assembly, every dance, and every club meeting we ' ve ever attended. Providing for our every interest from music to baseball, they have enabled us to become the responsible youth that America needs. It is hardly sufficient to say thank you for all the times we ' ve been in for extra help, knowing that a teacher would be there until the ques¬ tion was cleared up. It ' s hardly sufficient to say thank you for all the hours devoted to our clubs and sports. Through all four years, our teachers have not only educated us, but been our friends. The words thank you hardly express all we want to say, but we do want not only them, but our parents and our town to know how deeply grateful we are to the faculty at Winchester High. 9
