Agawam schools from nineteen hundred twenty-one to nineteen hundred forty-six, whose belief in the democratic way of life was not based on ideals alone but formed the pattern of his daily living, will ever be to us, the Class of 1946, a true inspiration toward achieving our own goals as citizens of the world.

SPRING- - iq46 I love the silent falling rains of spring Whose lacquer lends the leaves a glossy sheen. The deep brown earth so cool to touch of hand. And linnets soaring high towards heaven’s gate; The scent of apple blossoms wet with dew, The lilac bush that blooms beside my door, The winds that cause the lacy birches’ dance, White pebbles gleaming in the winding brook, And meadows w here the nodding daisies bloom Beneath a moon, that darts from cloud to cloud. These have I loved through carefree childhood days When I but little knew of pain or grief. These shall 1 love but dearer through the years Of tears, when I have lost my childhood faith. Elsie M. Wood
