THE ACADEMIAN Here a picture of something that would be rather hard to express in words. Some wise philosopher once said that A picture is worth ten thousand words. For the first time in the history of the Academian we are able to give you a complete view of the Acad- emy in its entirety. It's all there, complete to the unfinished ath- letic field in the background. As we seniors glance across the page, we know that in a few short weeks we shall be leaving the school which has sheltered us for four years. In time to come we shall undoubtedly see and visit it many times . . . but it will not be the same as it has been in the past . . . for once the final curtain of graduation has been rung down we will belong to the group outside the inner circle, who are called the Alumni of Canandaigua Acad- emy. Although we will no longer be active participants in the life of the school it will not mean that we shall forget all that it has meant to us. The good times we have had and the lasting friend- ships we have made. Neither will it mean that our sincere interest in the school as one of the finest of its kind will die out with the passing out of diplomas. To you undergraduates we seniors leave a job to be carried on to the best of your ability. The job of upholding and maintaining the fine traditions which have always existed here in the Academy. If we have perhaps failed in some ways you will be able to profit by our mistakes. As we look toward the future let us strive to build the standards ever higher and keep the fine reputation of good sportsmanship which generations of students have preserved. 7
