But I compare it to a book That's written page by page. Ourselves ore like the pencil; Our deeds make up the words; The paper is our span of life Showing our deeds unfurled. Page one reveals our first breath; The last page says, Now dead. And in between are all the things On earth we did and said. Our Laurel is a portion Of what's within Our Life Joys and triumphs and memories We share from our school life. So that no one will forget We make this monument Of happy days of by-gone years That were in L. V. spent. Sylvia Cummings Class of 1958 25

The star passengers are located in cabins 16 and 18. There were persons from the class engaged in all the four courses of study offered at Laurel Valley. The academic students worked diligently solving many mathematical problems and learning how to set up a laboratory experiment. Many hours of labor were spent on history and English courses also. The vocational section toiled to achieve the ability to become excellent seamstresses and homemaking students. The commercial people mastered the arts of typing, transcribing shorthand, and using the commercial machines. The general group acquired information on many subjects, and the male students also received courses in shop where they learned to make and design beautiful tables and knickknacks. The class of 1958 hopes that at some future time you will look back and say they were a nice group to have around you. SITTING: (Left to Right) Mrs. Harris, Sponsor; M. Skavang, Treasurer; W.
