Foreword “Whose distant footsteps echo Through the corridors of time” Longfellow The early Greek civilization was one based on honor, industry, beauty, and simplicity. The imple- ments of these Greeks were crude, but the works and myths they left behind remain forever lasting. Hidden among the depths of their ancient beliefs and shrouded in years of legend is the mystical treasure, the amethyst. This gem above all others was sought after by the ancients for its power to bring good luck and happiness to those who possessed it. Its strange faculty put a sobering check on passions, yet quick- ened intellect and imparted an especial dignity to the possessor. So too at Amherst Gounty High School a degree of this symbolic Grecian heritage of the amethyst is reflected in the ideals that daily enfold us. Each year there are those who as they enter this edifice of learning are stepping onto the threshold of a new phase of their lives. They are waiting to grasp all the dignity, knowledge, and strength of character that is found after their fi ’e-year passage through its halls. Others as they reach graduation know the e.xaltation of human achievement; and it is indeed happiness that comes to those who impart what they know to another and who help mold our intellectual de ’elop- ment. Each part of our life here represents a phase- timeless sincerity, lasting memories, the good times shared, companions gained. Accordingly, these phases are all bound together in one volume, the Amethyst. As you turn these pages, vou will see traditions, dignity, and spirit that life at Amherst Gounty High School offers throughout the year. Thus come with us now as we relive past yet ever-lingering memories. Proper!; ' ; of The Library cf Virginia Richmond, A 0
