3 ' OXEUJOZi Yesterday . . . today . . . tomorrow. “Every yesterday” . . . when each new dawn rises on today, yesterday becomes part of the past; yesterday’s events, yesterday’s words, yesterday’s mistakes are gone; they cannot be recalled. Today we may remember yester- day as a dream of happiness or a nightmare of unhappiness, but good or bad, yesterday cannot be forgotten ; for the inexorable course which today must follow was shaped yesterday. “Every tomorrow” . . . tomorrow is an intangible; during the hours of today, tomorrow is only a vision caught in the whirlpool of events yet to come. Only a vision, but whether it is a vision of hope or dispair can be reckoned by the events of today, for just as yesterday forges the path of today, so does today point the way for tomorrow. That is why today is important; that is why today is more important than yesterday or tomorrow. Well-lived, lived as it should be lived, today can give us no l’egretful yesterdays or hopeless tomorrows, but will make “every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope.” Yesterday and tomorrow are what we make them today. And just what has all of this got to do with a high school annual? S’imply this, today another senior class is being graduated from Clearwater High School; other classes are coming up the ladder towards graduation. The Aqua Clara is a record, in picture and word, of this senior class, of those other classes, of the school. It records them as they are today — 1942, today, when they must help rectify mistakes made by others yesterday; mistakes which make their future more dim than ever. Today — the time to begin life, and to begin it right so that someday every yesterday will really be a dream of happiness and every tomorrow, a vision of hope.

Yes, after inching our way up through six grades of grammar school and three of junior high, we found our- selves at the lowest rung of the ladder again with “Senior Class of 1942” only a gleam in the distant future. Under the leadership of Jack Booher and the guidance of Mrs. Edna North Knapp, we organized ourselves as a class. Chi ef among our activities during our first year of high school were the class beach party and decorating the auditorium for, and ushering at the senior baccalaureate service. Then we suddenly found ourselves Juniors and coming up in the world. Miss Amber Vivian Turner joined the new Junior class as adyiser, and Ernest Currie became pres- ident. The “big event” of our Junior year was entertain- ing a group of shipwrecked seniors who, invited by cable- gram, arrived in costumes (Hanging from towels and barrels to pajamas. As the year drew to a close, there came the elections of Bobby Wilson to the Student Body presidency for the coming year and of Bob Penny to edit the “Chatter”. Then as we decorated the auditorium for senior graduation, we realized that we would be next. To head the class during its year of supremity, the Seniors selected Teddy Shurtleff w ho was suceeded by
