Each minute sees some ever-changing, misty crossroad where past and present merge into a personality. In an instant this burning center finds itself surrounded. In the fluid crossroad of the individual and the jabbering mass, we converge on each other. And between you and me there is challenge, tension and reaction all forced into the nondescript title of a school. Going somewhere? We all are — coming from some outlived place. Each part of us wants to live something yet unborn, lying formless in the conflict created by myriad desires and experiences now-dead. There are as many ways as people leading to this surging point. Within it there is all of life, but much left out. Never quite satisfied, always going, you and I look at our crossroad, and gladly, there are as many ways out as there are individuals. 5

Two schools creep slowly toward each other until, suddenly, like two drops of water, they are one and indistinguishable. Their creation? Not a new child, but a shining super-being with the depth of the old mirrored in the shouting countenance of rebirth. In isolation and chaotic beginning, the new took an elusive shape, the old mellowed into tradition or was trampled. Something like an existence drew itself out of our effort and our apathy. 4

Dedication Mrs. E. Sommerfeld Mrs. Fristoe and Mrs. Sommerfeld have made their presence felt through the strength and their personalities and concern for the individual. We thank them for caring about us — about who we are and can be. The 1967 Hillife is dedicated to them to say: This is our year, our school, our life; and within it you have given a special warmth. 6
