SENIOR When you hear the word “Senior”, what is the first thing that comes to your mind ? Graduation, of course. When a student reaches his Senior year in high school, he is on the final stretch of his high school career. We, the Seniors of 1961, realize this with mixed emotions. Joy and perhaps re- lief overcome us because we are almost out of school at last, after twelve long years. We are ready to go on to the next step, some- thing new and different, college or a job. But the thought of graduation fills our hearts with something else, too. Something that brings a lump to our throats and tears to our eyes. It means saying good-bye to all the wonderful times we had in high school. Good-bye to all the friends who shared the fun and excitement with us. Good-bye to all the things we knew and loved for four years — four wonderful years in high school. The Hop, the Prom, the football games, the parties, and oh, so many, many more things we enjoyed must become only precious mem- ories after graduation. Seniors, as the last notes of “The Sacred Halls of Ivy” fade away on our graduation night this June, we can think back and re- member with tears filling our eyes. But we can also look ahead and dream and look forward to a new way of life. Susan Ausband, Editor 10
