Yorktown High School - Grenadier Yearbook (Arlington, VA)

Page 14 text:

IIL A new school year has started. To the students of Yorktown High School it means an entirely new school, a new way of life, a series of ad- justments, and a vast field of new experiences. To all, whether junior or sophomore, it means the renewing of old friendships and a host of good times. Whatever our initial feelings were upon entering Yorktown for the first time, we were basically here for the same purpose — an education — the finest that could be provided. From the first day we studied t o dis- cover, searched for the truth, experimented for a result, tested for a re- action, thought, and aspired. Our goals were high. Sometimes we achieved and sometimes we failed, and some of us dreamed even higher. But our desire for education did not discard other values equally im- portant. We met new people and learned to work with others. We joined mutual-interest groups and gradually we began to feel at home at Yorktown, as we studied, partied, worked and played. The Grenadier is a record of the year 1960-61, the first year of York- town’s existence. We of the yearbook staff have tried to depict those major and minor happenings with photographs. We hope somewhere in its pages you will find events recorded which will bring back fond memories now, and in the years to come.
