SIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF SPECIALS Long after departure from high school, the fond memories of specials remain as an intangible portrait of the sights and sounds of York. No other aspect of York can equal the climax of spirit dur- ing Homecoming, the ecstasy of a long awaited Junior-Senior Prom or the pride and satisfaction, mingled with remorse, at grad- uation. Emotions are too closely intertwined to make specials any- thing less. Such extracurricular activities are essential to the school as they add the spice need- ed to inject new spirit into the monotony of school life. Certain dignitaries who devote their time and talent to a class play or va- riety show can justly claim their share of the sights and sounds of specials while they attract new interest and stimulate new sup- port. The specials recaptured in this section aid more than anything else to the formulating of the overall impression of York. As the sights and sounds are highlighted by activity, they reveal out- standing impressions of York which harden into definite im- prints. Such imprints are erasible only by time.
