These signs change, as do fads and fashions and educational Outlooks, and mark the passage of time, as we see the future turn to present and then to past. It is the duty of the yearbook to capture these signs and hold them as never- to-be-forgotten memories. We, the 1960 Piper staff present the signs of OUR times, at Seaholm.
