'sims M 'L-few f esygexk L f-617' ' ta77Zemafzq.4'cme THIS YEARBOOK, which attempts to garner as much as possible of a Past, is really designed for the future. Pictures and text have been blended to form a Nlemory Lane, through which future readers may wander and rem- inisce. Neccssarily much is omitted. Of the many experiences which have left an imprint on the lives of students and faculty alike, only the most obvious and concrete can be in- cluded. Yet we hope that remembrance of the more subtle influences may be revived by what is here suggested. Still children upon our entrance as fresh- men at Elmira Free Academy, we have pro- gressed through our years of adolescence, leaving high school as initiates to adulthood. We are thankful for the opportunities that have been afforded us as Academy students, both scholastically and socially. The know- ledge we have acquired and the friendships we have made during this brief Period of our lives will remain with us always . . . a Mem- ory Lane. Wl1en Time, who steals our years away Shall steal our pleasures too, The mem'ry of the past will stay And half our joys renew. Thomas Moore- Son ru E-1
