TO ACQUAINT YOU WITH THE NUGGET’S PURPOSE The Nugget 1962 is a memory book. It is the compilation of photographs, drawings, and thousands of words through which you may better remember this year, this quarter of your high school experience. Hopefully, if we of the staff have succeeded, you will find yourself within the Nugget’s pages, along with your friends and activities. Our first objective is to entertain you in June 1962; to give you at a glance a picture of Butler during this year. All the students of Butler will have an opportunity to know one another through the Nugget, even if knowing one another” is only vaguely relating a face and a name. To get acquainted with classmates and to see what has been going on here at school since September —these things the Nugget will help you to do right now. A more lasting feature is possessed by the Nugget, 1962, however, and this is its value as a memory guide. This year the yearbook is a curiosity and a sense of news about Butler. This year you will pass it around widely and wildly, persuading scores of classmates to write witticisms and good wishes in it. In the ensuing years the people who signed the Nugget will be vague recol- lections. You will be hard pressed to remember your old class officers, your locker mates, your home room teachers, even your close friends. It is then that the Nugget will be valuable, perhaps even priceless. When you have forgotten, the Nugget will remind you; when you want to see what shop or Latin class was like, you’ll find it in this book. You will save your yearbooks without special reasons, but when you dig them out of the attic or from the closet, you will not fail to enjoy the memories they will supply. The Nugget staff therefore is happy to present to Butler High School its yearbook, and to enable you to find favorite memories with greater facility, you will find just below a break-down of the contents. These contents are now yours, and we hope that they will serve to warm your memory for successive years.
