From These From these communities, Milton, Pearl, Time, and Detroit, also from Florance and Bedford come the students who make up East Pike High School. The closing of Milton High School and Pearl High School in 1955 brought together many students who might well have never known each other under other circum- stances. As students we are proud of the communities which are represented here. They are all very fine places in which to live and to grow up in. We feel we are privileged to grow up in small communities where there is always something happening and yet peacefulness. Here we had our lessons in life: Here we learged right from wrong; here we learned about love; here we learned about fair-play. Some of us will spend our lives here--some of us will leave. Still when we think of home we will be thinking of these communities. 4

Foreword This is a book of memories. Memories tend to be enjoyable, since we fortunately are more likely to remember the happy experiences of life than those which have led to frustration. We would hope, too, that most of your high school experiences have been enjoyable ones. One cannot however, live on memories. Memor- ies are valuable when they remind us of the deep commitments we have made, of the visions we have had concerning our place in life, and of the friends who have inspired us. Such memories can be a constant spur to accomplish- ment and to higher living. We hope that the memories enduced by this book will be happy ones, but that they will also be reminders of that which is fine, and noble, and good in life. We hope that you will treasure this book in the years to come as a pictorial record of life at East Pike High School in the school year 1960-1961 just as you treasure those of past years. We have attempted to include material which is of interest to everyone-especially YOU. We sincerely hope that we have been successful.
