Classmates,
All of us will meet the end of our four
years here at O.F.A. with mixed emotions.
Those who hated school will feel relief at
graduation; those who looked forward to the
chance of being enlightened every day will be
saddened by the cessation of their schooling;
others who viewed their O.F.A. years as one
big joke won' t care . But no matter what emo–
tion is felt orwhat phase of life at O.F.A. we
will remember, let us all consider our four
years as a period of learning. We are not
expected to understand Einstein's Theory of
Relativity thoroughly or to speak Latin flu.–
ently, but we all should have realized the im–
portance and experienced the joys of associa–
tion and collaboration.
If
these four years
have taught us that much, they have been a
tremendous success.
I should like to thank all of you for the
honor and privilege of serving as your class
president and to wish each of you much suc–
cess and happiness in your future endeavors.

The time has come when we Seniors must end
our walks down the familiar halls of the Owego
Free Academy. Although we are looking for–
ward to the future, we are now feeling nostal–
gic a'!d are wishing we were freshmen again._
There are many memories which we shall al–
ways cherish. Who can ever forget OUR
TOWN with Suzanne Yost as Emily and Curt
Schweizer as George or Dale Patton's bril–
liant portrayal of Harpagon in THE MISER?
Then there was the fun of initiating the sopho–
mores, sponsoring a hootenanny, and being
intrigued with Senator Kennedy's visit. Also,
we shall never forget the lively class discus–
sions, especially those that included Donald
Haun's personal experiences. Best of all, we
were the first class to enjoy a student honor
lounge where we could relax for one period
during the day.
And now, we thank our class advisors, our
guidance counselors, and all other members
of the faculty for preparing us for the future.
We appreciate everyone's help and encourage–
ment. O.F.A., we shall never forget you!
