CO Page The Herald ’69 Windsor Locks High School Windsor Locks, Connecticut LD Page Page Page Page In Memoriam J. Christian Port He was a patient man who demanded preci¬ sion from his students in all their work. Both as a missionary in South America and as a language teacher in our school, Mr. Port dedicated his life to humanity. J We knew him as Chettie,” a classmate with an adept sense of humor. He was quiet and reserved, yet his willingness to help showed a friendly outlook towards others. Chester J. Ridel s Concrete and steel, halls and lockers—these are hut the physical substance of a building. Carl Sand¬ burg wrote. “It is the men and women, boys and girls so poured in and out all day that give the building a soul of dreams and thoughts and memories.” We, the Class of I960, then, dedicate the Herald to this school building in which we have worked, played, and dreamed.

CM D bJC 03 CU Spirit When the Herald Board chose spirit as the theme of the 1969 yearbook, we tried many approaches to attain a definition of the concept we wanted to express. We compiled lists of impressive-sounding words, brought in magazine pictures that seemed to represent spirit, and even had several meetings entirely devoted to discussions of this elusive theme. We could not arrive at any definite meaning, perhaps because it is necessary to probe deeper than any definition to reach the level of the experiences and the memories at the heart of spirit. There was spirit in the determination which carried our class through the NEDT’s, the PSATs, the SAT’s, the CEEB’s, and the NMSQT’s, long after the point where we began to fill in little circles in our sleep and had the phrase “Do not open this test booklet until told to do so by your in¬ structor” indelibly implanted in our brains. Spirit kept us going when we had to take baseball pictures in the snow and Ski Club pictures in the rain. Spirit was part of the resolution to win at intramurals, to get into that particular college, or even to come out golden in a math test for once. It was the force that gave purpose to a demanding world of classes, homework, and part-time jobs, a purpose beyond a grade or a paycheck. There was spirit in the pride in Windsor Locks High which brought us to a soccer tournament in the middle of a snowstorm or to a big basketball game on the night before a midterm. Spirit was there when we supported the teams with a “We’re Number One” enthusiasm even when we came in “Number Two.” It was there at the Plaza when we could look around and always see someone with a Windsor Locks jacket or T-shirt. Spirit was in involvement. Sometimes it was an involvement in higher learning which turned our English class’s solemn discussion of Hamlet into a garbled hysteria of “fishmongers” and bad puns about Hamlet’s father being a “great Dane.” This same spirit brought our Student Council, armed only with hoses, pails, and towels, to the school parking lot one hot June day to tackle over one hundred of Windsor Locks’s dirtiest cars. It found us in the In¬ dustrial Arts rooms each spring cutting out flowers, painting murals, and building thrones. It was in the classrooms where we became more than a physical presence and, either as listening or contributing members, involved ourselves in an idea or a discussion. We have lived in the September-June world of these experiences and memories for twelve years «and have felt a spirit in the determination, the pride, and the involvement of these years. The words lived and felt are the clues to the failure of words, pictures, and discussions to define spirit. Spirit is not just a term meant to be analyzed and defined —spirit is a force to be lived and felt, a force that gives a meaning to all the experiences and memories of high school.
