FOREWORD As little babes we started out in life, and later to school-eager, trusting, and willing to learn. Through the years we have proven ourselves worthy and capable of taking our places in our various com- munities, our states, and our nation, as substantial, American citizens. The memorable days spent here at Chilocco will endure, and will ever bean inspiration to us as we go forth into our different fields of work. The experiences shared with our friends, our classmates and teachers, here on the campus, will -3- always remain treasured memories of our high school days. These memories will tend to make our lives richer, more whole- some, and more satisfying. But as we go forth from Chilocco with hearts and spirits lifted toward the future, may Chilocco never cease supplying its constant, advantage-giving opportunities for growth to young people such as we. And may it continue to leave a spot of tenderness in the hearts of all its gradu- ates for their beloved Alma Mater.
