FOREWORD
This little book is intended to present to our gradu-
ates, as well as to their friends, a memento of their
school days, to which they may refer in after years as
a keepsake to help them reminisce over the past, renew
the acquaintances of high school days, and while away
many a happy hour as they wander back through Mem-
ory Lane.
If it pleases you, if it evokes from you a smile of
contentment, if it helps to bring back happy memories
of days gone by, if it succeeds in making you live over
again our happy school days, then our eiforts will be
justly rewarded.

SCHOOL
School is like a mountain that stretches to the
Vast and unconquerable from the bottotn.
Slowly we mount, a step at a time,
Moving upward.
Seemingly impassable barriers loom before us
Sometimes by spurts of genius, then by sheer
Often we despair,
But always a way opens before us.
We toil on.
Years come, years gog still we work.
Halfway up we look around.
Still the top is hidden, our surroundings
hazy
On we go with newly-kindled hope.
Times go faster now.
Suddenly we see in the distance the top
Hidden by the clouds, but faintly there.
Swiftly we toil, more eager now
With veiled goals revealed,
A way to ambitions shown.
Then close to the top, a ravine halts us,
Too wide to cross, the depth concealed.
Back go the workers
To Find another way, to struggle on.
The shirkers and the laggards stop dismayed,
Then start the easy journey downward towa
The picked ones strive on and
Burst from the mists.
Ahead we see the top:
We cheer, race madly toward the goal.
Beyond-we see new horizons,
New worlds and new barriers to conquer.

PRESIDENTS ADDRESS
Today we reach the end of our pleasant sojourn in the Fordson
High Shool and commemorate twelve years of school lite and educa-
tion under the guidance of a well trained faculty.
I would like to express gratitude and appreciation to our parents
who have sacrificed much so that we could come this far in obtaining
an education. After having our ears scrubbed and being sent off to
school for twelve years, we begin to appreciate the true value of the
opportunities that have been ours. Our feeling of security in life is
being replaced by a feeling of responsibility. In our school days we
gave little thought to our future. Most of our times were spent over
school problems. We did not think of the sheltered life we led or
consider how well we were protected from economic troubles. But
now the challenge of the unknown future is becoming more and more
important.
WVe are now choosing the occupations we would like to follow.
Some of us will practice in the field of mechanics, a few as salesmen,
others as apprentices, and a number will further our educations in the
universities. Regardless of the activity that we choose, I know that
you will join me in wishing the members of this graduating class
the best of luck in achieving the goals that we have set for ourselves.
May we always aspire to a higher goal and achieve distinctions in
our respective fields which will make us a credit to our school and
community.
I think I am speaking for every member of this graduating class
when I sa th t th' ' ' '
y a is commencement is an occasion to whrch we have
been looking forward since the day we enrolled as just another group
of freshmen. We have been picturing ourselves as majestically march-
ing up to the stage to receive our diplomas. At last this eventful day
ias arrived. To every fellow graduate I would like to offer my con-
gratulations.
