ELAINE V. WOLCOTT Skyacrcs, Agawam Class Colors: Blue, Cold and White Motto: Quo Vadis? We cross the bridge of childhood That spans life’s silver stream And hope to find reality Out of our dearest dream. We see the light the future holds For us, and even now Soft winds of Fate are whispering “Oh, whither goest thou? We board the ship of fortune And set ambition’s sails; Eternal faith our guiding star We know will never fail. Integrity and honor arc Provisions that will be Fast in the hold as we sail on The Sea of Destiny By working, seeking, striving, We reach a golden shore- In the cool dawn of tomorrow Our goal’s in sight and o’er Us, white gulls send their ringing call, “Oh, whither goest thou? Frail Echo sends it softly back. “Oh, whither goest thou?” CLASS POEM Esther Campbell ’50

 © 0 In the year 2000 A.I). .Marilyn and dale, looking: backward, decided to take a rapid trip into the past to recall their school days at Agawam High School. They went to the Fantasy Transportation Company, where, after swallowing some Rip Van Winkle pills, they climbed aboard an airship that flew them backward through space to the Land of the Past. Almost immediately they reached the Square of the Past. They hailed a slow-moving taxi-cab which took them to the Hotel Secondary, their head- quarters during their visit. At the hotel, the bellhop was slightly puzzled by the two capsules which Gale handed him: but when Marilyn explained that luggage in the Atomic Age was in capsule form, he was quite happy to carry baggage for such progressive patrons. The first and most important undertaking was to find someone to escort the two adventurers on their trip. Marilyn suggested to dale that Joanne Bcltrandi would be just the one to take them on their journey. Having reached her by using their pocket telephone, they agreed to meet her in the lobby. In fifteen minutes they were on their way. The small group of three started down 46th Street. Suddenly, Jo, class secretary for the four years, spied the other three class officers among a jabbering group of youngsters She beckoned to Bob Hynes, the president; Nancy Hall, the vice-president; and Jud Hastings, the treasurer; to join her. Then they all con- tinued on their way. Turning the corner onto Freshman Avenue, Gale asked Bob where all the excited students were going. He explained that the Freshman Class Party was in full swing in the building just up the street, and pointed out that this was the first Freshman Class ever to hold a class party at Agawam High School. The group entered the building along with the other boys and girls and watched the party until a sudden racket from a neighboring building prompted them to investigate. Inside, they saw six girls hopping madly about. Joanne hastened to explain that they were the freshman class cheer leaders practicing for the pep assembly. AS they left the gymnasium, the group heard music from a nearby building. They found out that the annual Junior-Senior Promenade was in progress. Nancy Hall dashed off to join the other freshmen girls who were serving punch at the dance. As they neared the intersection of Freshman Avenue and 47th Street, Bob and Jud ran off to football practice, leaving Joanne, Gale, and Marilyn to find new companions. At the corner of 47th they met the sophomore class officers, Sally Lindblad, Ronnie Balboni, and Bob McMahon, who were on their way to the [ 18 ]
