ACADEMICS York High School stands on ground not far from the place where British General Cornwallis sur- rendered his entire army to American General Washington at the end of the Revolutionary War. The brave Americans who watched the surrender had gone through many tough years of battle to obtain their Ideals of freedom. Like these first Americans, York High students fight a battle which lasts for a certain number of years. Yet this conflict Is not one with guns but with books and Ideas in the combat against Ignorance with the ultimate goal of an education. Thus, the school represents the heritage of those early heroes who made It possible for America to exist and for us to have schools like York throughout the country. Stands our School, a tribute to Those heroes, strong and true. 9
