Editor: Linda Bixby Ass’t. Editor: Wendy Wahatalo Business Manager: John Gauthier Layout Co-editors: Susan Eriksen George Truman 3 4 DEDICATION Mr. Robert Mooney and Mr. Peter Santos: For your concern for us as individuals far be- yond what we desired or expected; For your faith in our ability which gave us confidence in ourselves; For your athletic spirit which taught us to strive for perfection; For your inconsumable supply of enthusiasm which made our education enjoyable; In gratitude for these, we the Class of 1967 are proud to dedicate our yearbook to you. IN MEMORIAM Marvin and Susan Weed Sherman gave much time, service, and support to our school. It is with extreme sadness and genuine respect that we dedi- cate this page to their memory. YEARBOOK MESSAGE I wish to thank the members of the class of 1967 individually and collectively for your fine cooperation and good spirit demon- strated in your four years at Woodstock Academy. It has been a pleasure working with you. Your class will now scatter in many directions—each toward a goal which he has chosen. You now will have considerable freedom to make choices and to do things quite unthethered by home or school Make these choices wisely. Whether you go to school, join the service or go to work, the next few months will be important to you. You will be developing a pattern and establishing a record on which you will have to stand for many years to come. It is especially im- portant to your future that you get into the habit of applying your best efforts to everything you undertake. You have obtained through your efforts a good secondary education. Use this as a foundation on which to build. In this land of almost unlimited opportunity, your future will be largely what you make it. Choose your course wisely and embark on it with dedication and good spirits. You will get out of life essentially what you put into it. Best wishes and good luck to you all. Allan D.
