Monuments rhe Editor’s Corner Open Doors Graduation marked the closing of the 'Door of Education' for some seniors, and for others it opened wider as plans are made for college. Whichever the case may be, we are all grateful for the training and advantages afforded us in the Big Horn High School. We have work, fun and also tears, to mingle with our memories, but we all feel ready to go on to college, or to face the busi- ness world with confidence because of the background we have attained. Each has had the opportunity to learn and mature at his own rate, while being pro- vided with guidance, understanding and dis- cipline. For these things we say Thank You. At this time we are unable to build a Monument to show our appreciation of what our school and community has done for us, but hope our future records as we take our place in society, will reflect the traditions we have been given. So we are ready for the times of our lives: Unto every thing there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven. .... —Judy Currie 4 Monuments people build to themselves or to their memories crumble with time, but that memory built in the mind is more often than not the better of the two. Monuments may endure in beauty, but the memories and recollection which are a part of life are the only ones worth keeping. People are re- membered by that which they do, say, and produce. Still there remains a disassociation with the time in which something is made; the answers to the questions that are raised about these people and their way of doing things is accurate only when provided by a frame of reference, but when this is not done all accomplishments mean nothing. Being aware of the times is the most important part of a person's life for it is only within this short span that a memory or a mental tribute is built. Just possibly something you consider elemental in your life may be the one great and outstanding quality that you are remembered for. It is hoped that this annual produced by the Sen- iors of 1969 will be such a monument. — Bill Goodman
