Of QW 52 005 Jddingfoniana 'Iihese are the things we can sit back and remember with pride, the satisfaction of a job well done. But then, we remember other things too: not so important perhaps, but a big Part of our life. XVe remember all the little things that make up life at school. XVC remember a corny joke, and laugh. YX'e remember a boy or girl, and a crazy night when we felt like kings. XVe remember a driver's permit, then a license, and how dizzily grown up we felt. XYe remember our first awkward date, butterflies and all, but more important, we remember our last big school date at the Senior Prom. XVe remember the music, the soft lights, the good-natured laughter at the not- so-funny joke, the smiling faces, the dreamy eyes, and then the deep, peaceful quiet when you were finally alone. XVe remember how we saw our future stretching before us in the darkness, unknown, untried, challenging, and awesome at the same time. But right then, tomorrow was a million years away. XVhen it did come though, we knew we were ready to face it squarely: secure in the knowledge that we were the product of a Fine school in a fine community. So page through our Yearbook, you sophomores, juniors, and seniors, to come. Share in our memories, our deeds, our pritle. Our work is hnished. XX'e have done our best and must now leave to go to other things. But you must follow in our footsteps, you must strive to reach us, equal us, and then surpass us, if you can. In you lies the duty to uphold the Abington tradition and reputation. Thus, we, the Senior Class of 1958, leave to the coming senior class a strong and proud new high school. It is made of gleam- ing rnetal, plate glass, and red brick, nothing more. You are the magic ingredient that must be added to transform it into Abington, the school that we now sorrowfully leave behind to become a part of our past. 3
