Foreword There will always be the memories of yesteryear— our first tottering steps into an uncertain world, the hop¬ scotch days and rough brutality of an uncivilized childhood, the mimicry, the mirth, the raging emotion of adolescence. Four years in high school is little time to do all that we might wish. But of the scenes that passed, some are preserved forever in the pages which follow—the thrill of a game, the puzzle of a test, the high jinks of a leisure moment. These are the echoes of youth.

Mr. Clifton Hoy Mr. Clifton Hoy, custodian and friend to past grad¬ uates as well as to present students of Case, loves Case High, loves the bustle, the heartiness, the eternal youth of the whole place. Perhaps most of all, he loves the students, the young people, the kids, for their Hi!” or Hello!” or How are you, Mr. Hoy?” even if it’s yelled hurriedly and heard muffled at high tide in the corridor. He loves the kids because they care; and that caring is important to a man who has spent thirty-one years feeling proud of the young generation being educated—thirty-one years while he was taking care of the school building, quietly, loyally. And the kids do love him. They know that under those gray workclothes is a heart that is good and generous, a heart that endures and serves for the joy of living and working and knowing people. For Case High and the students who learn here are his pride, too. Many days the students have dedicated to Mr. Hoy their happiest wish Good Morning!” Now they dedicate to him this 1964 Chief.
