Delightful in others, and Unique in just a few -f we realized we could no longer pack our hooks two minutes heliore the end of the period -- we found ourseives rhumhaing on the lunch iine and munching in three quarter time - F.H.H. held a Prom for Juniors and we were iti IIER POWER WILL LONG SUSTAIN US . . . Vve were proud to he a part of the ciass of ,50 -1 when we bought the ixiay issue of Seventeen and found, on the cover, a ioevy oi Forest Hills beauties and, listed beneath the short story contest winners, the name of Louise Gold- wasser who had won first prize for The Cocoon - when our soclcing soccer star, Don Hertan. won the titie ol' ali-city goaiie - when tennis racqueteers Ken Poiiaclc and Boh Goidherg slammed their way to the P.S.A.L. crown for three years i- when aspiring Forest Hiiis scientists won second prize in the Cancer Exhibit with their miniature model hospital -1 when nine of our own Einsteins won honorahie mention -- when Shirley, Louise. and Niimi all had poems in the Teen ager's delight, Hseventeenu -H when we ioolced ahout us and realized how many wonderful friends weid made. VVHEN WE IVIUST PART... Nve spent four years iooicing forward to -1 the day when the hails ol: our Alma ixfiater would come aiive with the gaudy Hashes of our own senior hats - our day lor running for ruining, F.H.H.S. i- stalking the halts, fearing neither man nor teacher i- charging up the marhie stairs -1 perching self- consciousiy on the edge of the photographeris stooi i-f donning the iiowing robes and the mortar with glee and taking them off with sadness. DEEP GRAVEN IN EACH HEART... Then there are those unforgettable traditions i- like the Hower sate when everyone is reminded that Spring is just around thi- calendar-iiice the toting of the portable radios ali through the Series, knowing that some rooting teacher will aliow the ciass to catch a few innings -- iilce the April Fools Day issue ol' the UBaconH that ielit the whole school wondering for at least two seconds - like the inevitahie Freshmen girls hohhing down the hail after senior hats have heen distributed, with guess what perched on their hionde curis - like lazing on the grass of the haclc campus. VVILL LIVE FOND THOUGHTS OF YESTERYEAR . . . And the special things that occurred only during our high schooi career and no other. Things like - that smaiipox epidemic when everyone's number-one activity was getting vaccinated -1 the school wide search to discover where Kiiroy wasn't - the days when all that was needed to he Uweii dressed was a skirt which swept the Hoor and ioveiy, practical, haiiet shoes -1 the night Arsenic and Old Lace was presented with ali the ieads played hy memhers of our own senior class - the way we cried over Harriet and laughed through Out of the Frying Panu -1 the speech made by Harold Russell which inspired us as few things have ever done.

Our songs for the past four years may have been biared in the wrong key or sung by a tenor with a changing voice, but thatys the way we want to remember them. Above ati. we want to remember -- the piays at Christmas time, the lighting of the Menorah candies as the choir chanted the traditionai hymns and the pyramid of candle bearers who formed a Christmas tree as caroiers sang Att is caim, ati is bright - the annual Spring concerts where we first heard the haunting voice oi the eiectronic instrument made by one oi our own students and the ioveiy harmony of our own chorus and orchestra -- the big musical productions, uEverybody's Dudin' it and Hit the Deck with our bionde soprano Connie Titus.

Swirsicy who put over the best advertising trick of ali time when he sang UA, you're adorabien over the P.A. -1 to our Section Teachers and the patience with which they combated Freshman Follies and Senior Sophistication -1 to our pedal-pushing hir. Bartlett and the staff of Guidance Counselors -1 to all the teachers who tolerated our antics in class- rooms and praised each precocious offspring on Parents, Night i-f to such gems of advice as this from lovable Dr. Leonard who, when asked for his opinions on lipstick, said: HVVhen I have some old furniture around that doesn't took too weii, I paint it. soooo . . SHE'LL BE FOR AYE. .. How about that first time -1 we went to a school dance, awed by the muili- coiored tights, the imaginative names t- and t- Waiter? VVe were amazed by the sight of dignified seniors sporting! short pants, long beards, and ioiiypops --we carried home to ixiama a report card mariced Superior in some subiects,
