Hy. lb QU! S VJ fe Q wx WM WN Wayafjbf... We are reminded everyday as we pass the flag, the statue ot Lincoln, the documentary plaques, and the quotations above the entrance doors that one of the most important ideals at our American way ot life is the access to education. Without this right we at Fairmont Senior High School would not know the pleasures and the rewards that high school lite provides. It has been up to us to take advantage of this opportunity. During the past year we have been challenged to do our best and accept responsibilities along with honors. ln future years we shall review this year- book and think of our high school days and recall the privilege at being an American youth.
