There have been many joyful momentsg The sad ones we'll eventually forget, But it's all been such a pleasure, Especially the friends we've met. It's a fact, we've made our mistakes, Probably more than our share, But from them we'1l surely profit, And in our future take special care. As we retrace the hands of time, We remember the beginning of school, And I suppose it's undoubtedly true, We've all disobeyed some rule. Now, as we approach the crossroads, The turning point in our lives, May each of us choose the right way, And may God be our Guide.

HISTORY In the year 1959 approximately fifty students locked horns to be- gin four years of high school and four years of hard work. Those years have been eventful ones. On the national scene in 1960, John F. Kennedy defeated Richard M. Nixon at the voting polls for the position as president of our United States. In May, 1961, Alan Shepherd was the first man to attempt a ride in a rocket into outer space. In the latter part of the winter season, 1962, John Glenn made and broke that record by traveling around the world three times in a rocket. We glance back over the years and remember the work we have put into our high school days. We like to think that we've all done our bestg that we've accomplished a great dealg that we've worked to the fullest extent to prepare ourselves for the future. Things have changed in the past four years. We have grown a little more mature since 1959. We have learned to face reality and accept responsibility as a great part of this growing up. Most of us have become interested in the opposite sex at some time or another during these years. We have fallen in love, then out again. These things have been a part of growing up. It has helped us to face life with its inevitable problems, its laughter, its tears, and the disap- pointments. We have lost some of our high school friends during these four years. Some of them are married with a familyg some have moved awayg others are working. Whatever their importance in life, each has to face life bravely. They have already experienced the first moments of facing life aloneg we are soon to know. We will make our adjustments to life, and we will fight a good battle. 20
