We Remember... What peaceful hours I once eryoy’d! How sweet their mem’ry still! But they have left an aching void, The world can never fill —William Cowper In memory of Timothy Michael Swearingen, born February 20. 1967, died July 20, 1982. Class of 1986. In memory of the late former Superintendent Cecil Snider, who left in 1956, after many years as an educator here, we dedicated a flagpole. Pictured left to right are Superintendent Larry Eggleston, Board President Merle Von Holten, Mrs. Snider, Mr. Phil Hare representing Congressman Lane Evans, Representative Richard Mautino, and Fred Snider, son of Mr. and Mrs. Snider at the Walnut football game ceremony. We set aside this space in our yearbook in memory of Timothy Swearingen, a classmate; Cecil Snider, a former principal; and the seven NASA astronauts who died in the Challenger explosion. In memory of the seven astronauts: Ellison S. Onizuka, Christa McAuliffe, Gregory B. Jarvis, Judith A. Resnik, Michael J. Smith, Francis R. Scobee, and Ronald E.

From Fifty Staffs Came Fifty WRLNUT TREES “Time is... Time was... Time is past.” —Robert Greene We dedicate this, the fiftieth WALNUT TREE, to all the people who have worked on all the books throughout all of the years. Pictured above are the forty-nine volumes which have preceded this one. The first one was made in 1923; none were made in 1930, 1932-1938, and 1940-1945. At one time, only seniors were Annual Staff members; now all four classes are represented on the staff. The 1985-1986 Annual Staff now joins the ranks of those who have spent hours of concentrated effort to preserve the memories of the happenings at Walnut High School. Former Annual Staffers, this one's for you. 7 The true University of these days is a collection of books. —Thomas Carlyle
