FOREWORD BECAUSE our roots are so deep and secure in our town, we felt a desire to turn back the years in the old books and records of East Rockaway, then, Near Rockaway. By searching these records we found that we can well be proud of our town's rich historical heritage, which dates back long before the Revolutionary War. Near Rockaway has grown from a quaint seaport village, a stagecoach ride away from New York, to our own modern East Rockaway. As we were eagerly reading page after page of the intriguing, time-worn records, suddenly a quiver shook a flimsy, yellowed leaf. A corner was pushed back, and before our unbelieving eyes a little man tumbled out and introduced himself as Cap'n Rox, an ole timer of Near Rockaway. On that enchanted afternoon he made the past live for us with his captivating tales of Near Rockaway, and now we are going to share his tales with others and tell him of our school years, so that he can see American youth today as it exists in the daily life of the students of East Rockaway High School. We should like to show him, too, that we are adding to the heritage which he, and others like him, have preserved so carefully for us. We, the Senior Class, realize how much our heritage means to us, and feel that our short stay in East Rockaway High School has further enhanced an already treasured past. Wherever we may be, these memories will be foremost in our hearts. It is our sincerest hope that we, too, may bring credit to our home town, East Rockaway. 5
