Classes From the beginning days of elementary school to the close of our senior year, we are completing a most important part of our lives. Though we may not appreciate it at the time, the twelve years spent increasing our know- ledge will become more and more valuable. As individuals are called upon to make their own decisions, they will realize the importance of a good education. With the aid of seventy faculty members, each of us is able to climb the ladder of learning, reaching up- ward toward high goals. “Success lies, not in achieving what you aim at, but in aiming at what you ought to achieve, and pressing forward, sure of achievement here, or if not here, hereafter.” — R.

Seniors Crisp chilly days of autumn found seniors vigorously attack- ing textbooks after three months of vacationing in the lazy summer sun. Many activities scattered through the weeks of the coming year — the last for the senior class of 1963 — added much variety to the student life. Huguenot’s first homecoming weekend proved to be an exciting one for °63 seniors as well as for the alumni. Wintry winds of December brought PSAT tests and Christmas holidays. January found studious seniors hoping to gather last minute knowledge on any subject from advanced math to art. After mid-term, the guidance office was literally flooded with seniors inquiring about college acceptance. Finally spring arrived, and with it came the senior play and the long awaited Junior-Senior Prom. Seniors realized as final examinations drew near that soon they would be on their own. Whatever their future holds, whether it be attending business school, beginning a job, or entering college, seniors will find themselves recalling fond memories of high school days. Though they may remember with much enjoyment the many activities in which they participated, the years will bring increasing appreciation for the knowledge gained, the knowl- edge which will always shine as their own star of achievement. 27 “Don’t worry; it just counts a fourth of your grade,’ con- soles Mrs. Kerr, senior class sponsor, as she passes out exams.
