LTI-IOUGH but few residents of Hamburg are aware of the fact, Eighteen Mile Creek is widely known as a source of certain types of fossilized remains. Its reputation extends even to Europe, where students in the great universities study the geology of this creek. There it is known as one of the best places in the world to find these types of fossils. For this reason, the name l'Striations is especially appropriate for a Hamburg High School annual. QEor the photographs on the following three pages, the seniors wish to thank Mr. Fred Guenther and Daniel Van Pelt, '34. The photograph on the opposite page is of Eighteen Mile Creekj '

FOREWORD N ITS slow shiftings and settlings, the earth forces many immense strata of rock out of their original positions, moving one over the other, and each leaving in its ponderous wake long rows of parallel scars on the surfaces over which it has moved. Time removes the soil that formerly covered the rocks, and exposes them to the inquiring eye of the geologist who interprets their markings, which he calls '4striations,H as we would read a book. Engraved upon the various strata are marks that reveal their innermost secrets, awaiting only the expert eye of the scientist to recognize their signiiicance. In the same manner, in going through school, we give and receive impressions that might very aptly be called striations, although they are not engraved upon anything so concrete as a rock surface. They are, instead, indelibly inscribed on the mind and character of each pupil, and on the character and traditions ofthe school. And, just as the geologist reads from the striations on the rocks much about that particular stratum, so someone in the days to come may read the records of todayls achievements, and thus may judge their true Worth and significance.
