More than any other aspect of York, sights and sounds represent the true significance of school life. When a student steps through the doors, he becomes a part— as a sight, as a sound. His opinions and interests become the foundation for his activities which in turn reflect his intellectual and so- cial growth. Through the daily routine of classes, he learns to cope with re- sponsibility in order to face an ever widening future. Though his per- sonal growth cannot be measured, the sight of his work symbolizes his achievement as the sound of his in- terests symbolizes his inward devel- opment. Students often remember only an overall picture of York, but the indi- vidual impressions are much more Foreword precious: The scene painted in an art class; the presentation of a play in speech or literature; the display of preserved specimens from advanced biology; the constant research into areas of learning and culture; the sight of the Falcon unfurled by a marching band; the faces of friends, classmates —who grew and matured together- all these show our true regard for our alma mater. The sounds, too, are there —although they have not been as tangible as the sights. Impressive words from discussions— some force- ful, some subtle— have reminded us of our right to express our own opin- ions, while our new radio station WYCS has come to typify the life of York in ' 66. Yet, even more deeply embedded in our awareness has been the fact that our school was built on a battleground of the Revolutionary War. Still stand the cannons, silent remains of the sounds of battle, while the National Park Service, to denote Yorktown, uses as an emblem the de- sign of a cannon pointing out over the York River. Like the cannon, then, symbolic of sights and sounds of our nation ' s fight for independence, so stands our school, the sight of stu- dents ' sounds as they, too, fight for their free dom from the shackles of Ignorance. Now, we present to you a picture of our efforts toward attaining maturi- ty and enlightenment in one year, 1966, and we hope it can be said of us that we came, we saw, we heard, we conquered. 4
