Annual staffers brave blazln sun and torrid sand in search of buried treasure. Beware of the Here it is, your 1962 Senator. We've Worked hard on it-each page contains part of every member of the staff, and every member of the entire student body. There are memories on these pages that we will long re- member-bonfires, football games, clubs, classes, and dances. A lot of work goes into this hard-bound edition of memories. We trudged through blazing sand dunes to get a picture of a treasure chest. We shoveled, dug, planted, watered, painted and prayed one hot July day to make the two color pages of the Senior Patio as perfect as they are. A lot of pictures couldn,t make front-page though. Like Liz Ward's Flying Fiasco, or Sarah Lee's strictly behind-the-scenes act of pulling chew- ing gum from her cheer-Weary tennis shoes. This is the finished product-to a non-Fletcherite itis nothingg a series of pictures and meaningless words, but to those of us who fondly hold each page in our deepest memory, it is the golden opportunity to never forget. It is a . . . BACKWARD GLANCE.
