fs . W AS THE FINAL days of the Golden Year draw to a close, we pause at the crossroads of our school life and look back over vistas we have left behind us - four cherished high school years. It seems only yesterday that we first entered Star as eager, bright- eyed freshmen. Everything was novel, different, exhilarating, and, as the weeks and months went by, we applied ourselves with a will to Alma Mater's every project. Our freshman and sophomore years passed all too quickly, and the junior year was upon us. We were upperclassmen at last! Drill-team champions, Beyond the Coral Reef, and Blossom Time - these are among the most cherished memories of our junior year. Came September, 1953, and we found ourselves seniors, enjoying the dignity, deference, and prestige awarded forthcoming graduates. A new sense of responsibility settled on our shoulders, and we set about to make this, our final year, the best. Intermingled with our duties were the wonderful highlights of our senior year: the Recollection Days, Talk of the Town, Senior Privileges, Sneak Day, and the Senior Exclusive. And now Commencement! We take one last, fond look at the wide vista of precious memories and then set forth upon life's highway. Our future lies before us Like drifts of pure white snow, How carefully we shall tread it, Since every step will show! CARLE MACDONALD Carle-Mac . . . Junior, Senior Prexy . . .
