Butler High School - Tropaeum Yearbook (Butler, IN)

Page 6 text:

omword A yearbook is primarily a book of memories. It is this that we have striven to achieve: That Butler High School in nineteen hundred and forty-eight and nineteen hundred and forty-nine was a place and a quality; that, as the years pass, we will want to recall places, events, dates, and persons. So the nineteen hundred and forty-nine Tropaeum is pre- sented as an aid and a stimulus to memory. The things that happened this past year were momentu- ous and trivial. We said, Ten years from now we ' ll laugh at all this, but we were trying to kid ourselves. The things that happened to us this past year would not have happened to anyone else; we were the chosen people, a race set apart. There are those who will cavil at our selection from the past year, but we are as fallible as all humans, and have honestly tried. We hope you will take in good grace the presentation here offered — your year at Butler High Scnool, an account of the great and foolish moments that made up our lives. There is no theme for this year ' s Tropaeum because we feel that it should reflect the spirit of the school. The con- stant striving for achievement, personal and collective, the day-to-day battle for knowledge and understanding, the hopes and dreams of yesterday, today, and tomorrow — these do not fall into a pattern. They are lived in the lives of each individual. In the following pages we present the events which made up the past year in our school. —2—
