I have always heard that high school days are the best times of our lives and also the shortest. Now that they are over, I know that this is true. It seems almost like yesterday that we entered the new high school which was not even completely built. Look at it now. The school is filled with students and the building is begin- ning to get a look of wear . We, the class of 1975, have done much to build this school. We have worked and learned, played and had fun and grown up together, and we will al- ways carry memories with us. The basketball and soccer games and all the other sports, the music concerts, all the plays, dances and trips we have had, together with our school studies, have formed our school life. Each little part may seem insignificant by itself, but when taken together have formed the most unforgettable time of our lives. 150 Now ahead of us, we face a bigger task. There will be more people, more work, more hardships, and, hopefully, more fun and good times. l feel we are ready to accept the challenges that lie ahead. We have been taught and we have learned how to face problems and overcome them. These are the tools for success. What is success? Someone before me answered this question better than I. To laugh often and much: to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to learn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty: to find the best in others: to leave the world a little bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden path, or a redeemed social condition, to know even one life has breathed easier because you lived. This to have succeed- ed. I wish the very best of luck to everyone and a wonderful life ahead, and above all success. Mag ji UQMCJ rr Mary K. Van Wagenen
