East High School - Orient Yearbook (Rochester, NY)

Page 11 text:

FOREWORD Enlightenment, the imparting of the light of truth and the freeing of the mind from ignorance, is an appropriate theme for the 1962 Orient. For by this process man has been able to advance to his present peak of knowledge. The facts first picked from hearsay by men hundreds and hundreds of years ago have been taught countless times to people of succeeding generations, making a great discovery, in time, common knowledge. Throughout our lives more and more is revealed to us; but school remains the great middle ground for the ex- change of knowledge. The teacher passes on information to his students. In later life the students retell the truth they acquired, enlightening a new generation. And so the cycle revolves, perhaps forever. In these pages, serious or humorous, enlightenment is the dominant note. This is also true in our classes and in the many activities that make East High a society in itself. If we have one hope, it is that this light, now ours, grows ever brighter as we walk into the future.
