Florence High School - Husky La Bran Yearbook (Florence, CO)

■ Physical . . .intellectual. . .humorous . . . artistic . ..challenging . . .rewarding. . .so goes the pattern of events at Florence High School. From the resonance of the first and final bells to the excitement of a decisive ball game, student expression is unlimited in the diverse patterns of daily activity. A mad chaotic whirl of extra-curricular activities and social commitments, force a decision between work and play, dating and homework. While studying is the main preoccupation at Florence High, equally sought are the moments of diversion, the moments of relaxation, and moments of warm friendship. The usual yearbook crises arose in the course of the year and were surmounted by the untiring and dedicated work of the yearbook staff. An increasing awareness of general semantics led the editors to explore new dimensions in communication and from these stem the general lay-out of the book. The yearbook does not tell everything there is to tell about Florence High School. It is neither a definitive introduction nor a historical study. Rather, it is a visual record of the school as it exists in the minds of those who worked on the staff. In the 1964 HUSKY, school life is portrayed candidly, picturing the student and his activities honestly and without reservation. Approaching the book impressionistically, the staff members have tried to create an atmosphere that at any given moment is typical. Occasionally they were inspired with rewarding insights and more than once they came to feel they were portraying a rich plastic in which they were inevitably led from texture to pattern, from pattern to space, and from space to time.
