Thus, your graduation from high school may be regarded as a transition to a self-directed pursuit of new ideas, greater understanding, and depth of learning. In this rapidly changing world education must be a life- long and continuing endeavor. If, even in a small measure, your teachers have succeeded in instilling within you this spark to ignite a thirst for greater knowledge, the role of the school has been fulfilled. May I congratulate you upon this, your graduation from high school, and wish you much happiness for yourself through service to others. EDWARD B. FILLBACK Superintendent of Schools Middletown, Conn. TO THE CLASS OF 1962: No matter what your program of studies was during your three years at Woodrow Wilson, you learned through this pro- gram of the heritage of the past and the promise of the future. To a large degree, your future will depend upon - how well you learned from this heritage of the past and how strongly you were motivated by the promise of the future. Each of you must set for yourself the goals to be attained with knowledge that their successful attainment rests primarily with each of you. I know that the heritage of the future will be richer because of the contributions each of you will make as you attain your goals. CHAUNCEY J.

The captain of the band was Doloris Rear- don. Mr. Bruce Schmottlach was the director.

Ed Beckley and Ken Robinson were high scorers on the team, accounting for ten of the twenty-one touchdowns scored this season.

Thomas Swift led a strong defense which held our opponents to only 82 points. Co-Captains for the team were Steve Schaffer and Tom Swift. Letter-winners were seniors Steve Schaffer, Tom Swift, Joe Muraca, Rich Satagaj, John Robinson, Ken Robinson, Ed Beckley, Bob Miller, A1 Bozzi, Carl Marino, Don Rochette, and underclassmen Howie Jones, Stan Kosloski, Chet Mounts, Art Cooper, Ted Thompson, Tony Muraca, Tom D’Aquila, Ron Cannata, Dave Davis, Pete Collins, and Rich Anderson.

In out- standing meets against Bristol Eastern and Bristol Central, the season openers, the trackmen from Wilson scored 70-34 and 77-27 wins, respectively. It looked as if a great season was at hand when the ’Cats beat Lyman Hall and remained undefeated in the first three meets. In the final four encounters, however, the Wildcats lost to Plainville, Southington, and Middletown and managed to beat Glastonbury for the record. Sophomore Dick Bright was the highlight of the series as he ran past school and state mile records on this way to the state championship. His winning time was 4:18.5.

The Wildcats then suffered a defeat by Plainville but again came back strong, winning the next five meets by beating Southington, Lyman Hall, North Haven, Bristol Eastern and Middletown.
