 F ore word As the years fall behind us, we often tend to forget the persons and events which have taken precedence over the past four years. We have, therefore, striven to embody in this volume the words and pictures which will recall the persons and happenings so familiar—nay even so dear—to us. We want you to travel along with us-to sec the events of our past and to realize that in this “past” we laid the foundation for our adulthood. We want you to realize that these past four years will make our future life richer and that in this future — say a decade or two from now — through some twist of fate, we shall once more turn these pages and realize that the visionary dreams we had in our adolescent years have come tme. We want you to realize that we shan’t forget our teachers, who with their often unappreciated wisdom, have prepared us for the inevitable problems which will face us for the rest of our lives. We hope, most deeply, that we, the Class of 1960, will become a shining example as alumni of Dover High School and an inspiration to the future graduates of our Alma Mater. We are, indeed, leaving and in this departure we are both sad and glad. We are wise enough to realize that we are saying both a farewell and a greeting—the former to our past, the latter to our future. We can only hope we are ready for both. We feel we are because we have been well guided. We go into the world—well equipped to meet it. We leave you with gratitude and with regret but still with fortitude because you have so constantly aided us to face our future. We say one word, “Gratias,” and mean it from our heart. THE STAFF
