FOREWORD 1964 is York High School’s tenth birthday. During the ten years, many graduates have passed through York’s portals, going out to make a place and a name for themselves in the world beyond. There has been almost a sameness in all graduating classes, as each from the first on has maintained the high standards and ideals that York instills in all her graduates. The members of each senior class have all left their imprint, too, upon the life at York, whether the class had forty members — as the first one did — or two hundred — as the class of ’64 does. Through the years they have initiated and fashioned the activities that now have become a pattern at York, for it is the senior class in any school that leads the way. Thus, the 1964 Falcon staff has tried to picture the happenings at York which have become traditional by showing you this the tenth year. Yet while each year and each class may seem the same, they can not be. There are always some events which make a particular time more distinctive than other times. Therefore, as yo.u enjoy the 1964 FALCON, it is the hope of the staff that you will see York’s tradition, as well as York’s pres- ent, and that you will recall with fondness those who, while preparing to leave York, were also making their footprints upon the sands of time. 6
