Preface To Uursellves in 1980 Remember us? You left us, one June evening long ago. drifting aimlessly through the halls of Dedham High School. When you went forth to conquer the world, we stayed miser- ably behind until we found a haven in the pages of this book. For we are the shadows of your former selves. Remember? XVe lived in the turbulent years of the late 30's and early 40's when age-old traditions were being over- turned in the demand for progress and new orders were bring- ing death and destruction to half the world. The draft, Hitler, 3rd term. and national defense were as much a part of our vocabulary as wing-backs, special reports. jitterbugs. and oral themes. W'hile we were sequestered here in Dedham High. we were still aware of the brutal fate of young people in other lands. and of the dark, uncertain future that faced you that graduation night. Remember? XVe lived in the days when an A in algebra sent your spirits soaring and a call to the office set you a-trem- bling. We are the young people you once were. who battled their way through the freshman corridor, passed notes in the 208 study hall, cheered at football games till they were hoarse, and thrilled to the pleasures of their Hrst prom. Have you fogotten us? Then come back through the long years: turn over the pages of this book. We'll meet again.
