We, the editors of Realms 1969, in our attempt to open the doors to the minds and souls of the students, as well as the activities they put their minds and souls into, found the natural openness we needed in the poetry of Robert Frost. We have tried to uncover the people inside the students who ' make our school live. The words of Mr. Frost will be your key; this yearbook, your door, and we invite you to enter in.

The days we've spent in high school have been days spent in learning. Yet learning extends beyond classrooms and textbooks. Miss Walmsley, throughout many years of thoughtful insight, has helped students to learn things more important than facts; the kind of things Robert Frost learned and expressed so beautifully in his poetry. We, the class of 1969, dedicate our yearbook to Miss Walmsley. We are grateful to her for helping us discover that the things we have learned here are only meaningful if we know how to use them in the world around us. They might not understand a burning glass. They might not understand the sun itself. It's knowing what to do with things that counts.
