The purpose underlining our broad curriculum was to instill in us a desire for knowledge that would follow us through future education, into future careers, and throughout our lives. In our search for knowledge the classroom was our laboratory: teachers, our guidesg and our own inquis- itiveness, our inspiration. It was this profound in- quisitiveness that led us to seek additional knowledge through outside reading and study, and to explore the Why's behind principles. We recognized that our limited information was small in comparison to the vastness of man's accumulated learning, and through steady progress, we found actual proof of the axiom the desire for knowledge increases ever with the ac- quisition of it. ...s-- 'A.'

yur Care ree Qzqffer . . Voices mingling with laughter, hurrying figures eagerly swarm- ing the halls, bright patches of colorful clothing dotting the campus, jubilant shouts ringing through the crisp autumn air after a Friday game . . . this was ll-IS life at its liveliest, its most typical, and its most revealing. This incomparable' spirit, was echoed especially in our laugh- ter. Singing in our hearts, freshening our outlooks, and filling us with comradeship and boundless optimism, laughter gilded every school activity with a special magic. It cascaded from our classroom doors and windows and permeated the halls. lt filled the empty shell of silent rooms in early morning, giving it life and warmth, and lingered whispering after the last stu- dent had departed and the red-brick buildings lay hushed in darkness. There was often no definite reason for our carefree spirits' ex- cept that we at IHS were young at heart, and laughter is the language of youth.

Although we were often swept together with fervent loyalty and united by bonds of friendship, we were individuals. This was reflected in the array of outside interests we pursued. For some it was a favorite record collection, for some the latest dances, especially The Twist, for others a battered relic faintly resembling a car. Our differences in tastes and talents further echoed our varied personalities. IHS was a blending of our individualities combined to give our student body a special, wonderful flavor all its own. Our days at Il-IS were a common cherished memory of those who had gone before us and a promise to be fulfilled to those to come--a treasured part of the rich heritage of the 1961-62 IHS student body.
