The most important part of our high school experiences is, of course, the acquisition of knowledge. Wending our way through term papers, research projects, and book reports, we have become familiar with our library and its contents. After classes have finished for the day, the library abandons its atmosphere of quiet-tude and becomes the scene of meetings and conferences. The problem of what to do after high school is one that always confronts each and every student. Career-planning is a difficult task and one which, unless competent help can be found, is frustrating and seemingly impossible. At Mentor High School, such help obtained from the persons of Miss Florence Davis, dean of girls, and Mr. Wayne Hammond, dean of boys, who make available to us extensive information concerning college and job opportunities in the modern world. 6

The Mentor High School Annex, built in 1939 as an elementary school building, contains our freshman homerooms. Throughout the year, regardless of weather, at the sound of the bell the freshman surge out into the elements. They mingle with the upper class-men for such courses as home economics, industrial arts, music, languages, and social sciences. Fellowship is fostered through the participation of all four classes in extra-curricular activities. The bright spacious lobby of our high school provides a place to gather during lunch hours and before school in the morning. It is also the scene of after school meetings and activities. Centrally located, it serves as a pivot point between the new and old sections of the building, between the domains of the upper and lower classes.

The domain of each senior Class at Mentor High School, more commonly the scene of students accompanied by the sound of constant conversation and the banging of locker doors, has been the avenue of 269 seniors for 180 school days. It is our sincere hope that succeeding classes will feel the absence of our noise and confusion as we have felt the absence of classes who have gone before. Thus we found the senior hall, empty and deserted, when we arrived on September 6, 1960. Thus we left it on June 8, 1961. The highlights as well as the everyday activities which transpired between these dates are pictured in the following pages. In the years to come may they recall pleasant associations with the class of '61.
