gcbforia LINTQINVS, hisTory is noT iusT The chronological order oT evenTs in The liTe OT a high school. There is someThing deeper and more subTle abouT ClinTon hisTory, because iT has been wriTTen by Thousands oT The boys since l897. ln These TiTTy years There has grown a ClinTon TradiTion which has been insrilled in The hearTs oT The boys noT only by The ClinTon l-ligh School, buf also in The very hearTs oT The boys. The spiriT which now reigns in The halls oT lvlosholu Parkway, and which prevailed in The TirsT ClinTon l-ligh School building on ThirTeenTh STreeT, has led ClinTon, in war and peace, To The TopmosT heighTs, whenever The banner oT Red and Black has been unTurled. l-lere There is a greaT Tusion oT races, colors and creeds and we have learned whaT True broTherhood means Trom ClinTon's Teachings oT de- mocracy and comradeship. We have all played, worked, sTruggled and laughed TogeTher. We're all Americans and all- worThy and enTiTled To The same privileges. By Thriving and working TogeTher you, De WiTT ClinTon, have TaughT us The democraTic way oT liTe, and Tor This we are indebTed, proud and ThankTul. Though we may scaTTer ThroughouT The globe in a Thousand businesses, proTessions, or services, we will never TorgeT The iob you have done in molding us and our lives. We are grad- uaTing inTo a world To become voTers, workers and home makers, we are advancing To our prime oT acTiviTy and respansibilify. We will always remember Thaf aT De WiTT ClinTon we TasTed Tor The TirsT Time The prin- ciples oT Treedom and Tolerance embodied in The DeclaraTion oT lnde- pendence and The Bill oT RighTs. We, The class ol: June, I947, will never abandon These principles nor hinder our greaT American heriTage in any way Tor you have inspired us To become leaders and deTerminers oT our naTion's policies. We Thank you De WiTT ClinTon Tor all you have done Tor us and Tor making us beTTer Americans. ELI GLASSMAN, EdiTor-in-ChieT, ClinTonian 8
