PREFACE Three or four years ago, we entered Bulkeley and began what would probably be the four most important years of our lives. And now as our high school life draws to an end and we prepare for the advent of separation, for most of us it is the time to recollect such memories that make high school what it really is. But let’s look back at our four magical years—four years of mystery, happiness, challenge, and progress. For each one of us our years at BHS take on different meanings: memories aroused that are peculiarly our own, decisions made which have changed the course before us; but for all of us Bulkeley holds one common meaning— opportunity. Here we have enjoyed the opportunity to grasp the full significance of education, to broaden our view of life and the world through our contact with people representing vastly different back¬ grounds. And even more important an opportunity to study under the light of freedom. And someday, many miles from BHS, and umpteen years from now, we hope that you will sit down and leaf through the ’58 Maple Leaves and smile and sigh as a panorama of memories floats before your eyes. Dance again under the enchantment of our Senior Re¬ ception; feel the tension as the curtain rises on Torch Nite; feel proud of the first basketball team in BHS history to qualify for the New England tourney; panic again as you forget your seat number in 222 and your excuse for being tardy; wonder how you got that A on the theme you wrote in ten minutes. All these memories and so many others seem unforgettable, yet can so easily be lost if we allow them to slip from our minds. We hope that the ’58 edition of Maple Leaves will always bring back the best years of our lives.” As the theme of our classbook, we have chosen Memories Are Made of This.” On behalf of the Editorial Board, I should like to extend our personal thanks to our advisors, Miss Shea and Mrs. Doerschuck, whose guidance and direction has been invaluable in publishing Maple Leaves; to Mr. McElney and the Business Board; to Miss Saf- ford and her talented Art Board; to the typists for their wonderful cooperation. Our thanks also to Mr. Mackimmie, Mr. Bashour and the office staff who gave us much valuable advice and greatly facili¬ tated our work. In closing, my sincere thanks to Mr. Little of Loring Studios whose complete coverage of BHS events was excellent, and to O’Toole Printers, who patiently waited while our deadlines came and went. 4
