WE DO NOT REMEMBER DAYS The memories of Our school days that we have slipped into our hearts treasury will remain there as long as we live and have the power to recall. A few will always be vivid. Others will drop into the background to be stirred only occ nally. And now, as we take a backward glance over the year that is closing, let us recount some of the outstanding events and changes that seem important to us. One of the most obvious changes was in the day's program. The old fa- miliar eight-hour school day was rearranged to nine periods. The home room was revived-thus eliminating the necessity of after-school meetings. The detention hour was also eliminated. Several new elective courses were offered: girls' shop, speed reading, as- tronomy and French III. Two courses were added to the required lists: health education and consumer education. In addition to curriculum changes, the physical plant was also modified in several areas. The state fire code re- quired that protective doors be installed in the study hall, classrooms, corridors, and cafeteria. A new floor was laid in the gym to replace the sagging old one. Twenty-five years of strenuous use had taken its toll. These are some of the memories of our school years we will take with us as we leave our homes and community in pursuit of useful work in the world. But, reaching f-r beyond the confines of this local area are memorable events of national-even international Importance. The most startling of these had to do with our Preside» . For the first time in our nation's history--almost two hundred years--the President of the United States, for the good of the country, resigned his high office. This unprecedented act resulted from the legal investigation of the Watergate disclosure and President Nixon's involve- ment In this affair. Into my heart's treasury I slipped a coin That time cannot take Nor a thief purloirv- Oh better than the minting Of a gold-crowned king Is the safe-kept memory Of a lovely thing. — Sara Teasdale 2

Only Their Memories Since Gerald Ford had been appointed by President Nixon to the office of Vice President Mr. Ford became our first President not elected by the people, Then, several months later, when Nelson Rockefeller was sworn in as the new Vice President, he became the first man to hold that high office by appointment rather than by election. During this past year, many conditions that had been troubling our people for several years increased in their intensity. Inflation, recession, and unemployment disturbed Americans in general. No one was immune from worry. The energy crisis continued—the question of oil supply worsened. But, even though our problems are numerous, opportunities for solving them are likewise numerous. World travel- lers and students of world-wide conditions all make the same reassuring report: America is still the land of op- portunity-the greatest country in the world. We, as young Americans, gratefully accept this report as true. There is work to be done-we must be about it. And when we reach our bicentennial in 1976, we would like to feel that we have made some contribution to the pre- servation of this great republic that our Founding Fathers fought for and established two hundred years ago. We believe with our great American poet James Russell Lowell— New occasions teach new duties; Time makes ancient good uncouth; They must upward still, and onward, who would keep abreast of Truth; Lo, before us gleam her camp-fires! we ourselves must Pilgrims be. Launch our Mayflower, and steer boldly through the desperate winter sea. Nor attempt the Future's portal with the Past's blood-rusted key. 3
