We have earnestly endeavored to carry on the traditional Stadium Spirit both in our studies and in our recreations. ln this way we have forged a link in the chain of years, one which we hope will be viewed with pride by the future students and citizens of Stadium High School. We are graduating from the finest atmosphere a school can offer and the memory of the years spent here is an unforgettable treasure. Although the past is gone and now we eagerly look to the new-the future, the Stadium influence will always be a part of our lives. It is up to us to make our lives reflect the light of progress, to keep Stadium aware of our achievements and for ourselves to carry on in true Stadium Spirit. MAYNARD MILLER, President.
