i N- M. '1-, 2' -XX -X -' wr L a FGREWORD v pp! sf -1 . 17 LL. As we tread down Life's Main Street, Signals and signs will guide our feet Toward those things we wish To do, To become . . . During the march of progress which has ensued in our country for the past twenty-five years, we have found ourselves becoming increasingly dependent upon others for opinions and ideas. These opinions form tem- porary guidcpos ts which we either ignore or revere. We have surrendered plurselves, helplessly, to the stronger signs to make and influence our CCISIOIIS. Being such an integral part of our day to day life, signs may be ex- pected to play a prominent part in our community living. We have come to depend upon such things as signal lights, store directories, ad- vertisements, and street signs to aid us in all we do. Some of these signs are like a beacon which shines forth in the midst of chaos and confusion. There could be nothing more welcome than a sign which alleviates a type of worry or distress. Others of these signs are less sought, but more com- manding, such as slow', signs and one-way arrows. These, in the past two decades, have been awarded the admirable task of protecting our nation's safety. ' As we participate in school activities, here at Amherst, we are por- traying ourselves as signs-a method of symbolizing our likes and dis- likes, our hopes and dreams. Our very movements express to others in- formation concerning our habits and lives. Therefore, each student is a necessary portion of Amherst's story to her friends and neighbors. As each of our classmates is a sign-an inspiration to us-so we reflect our- selves to others, throughout our community. We are not attempting to portray each of our school's various adminis- trators, classes, and activities as particular signs, but rather to demon- strate how the duties and aims of each function as a signal, guiding and directing us toward the best attainable goals. 4
