Fofwwofad The staff of the 1962 Falconaire hopes to present and recall many fond memories for the students through the pages of the Falconaire, with our hands and feet guiding us. Wfhen we entered Falconer High School as Seventh Graders, we thought of it as a huge, expansive building. Our feet just couldnit seem to find the rooms so we could be on time for classes. Then our hands just wouldn't seem to co-operate to do all the work required of us. As Eighth Graders we became accustomed to the school, and it didnlt seem too large anymore. We met many new friends and gained many experiences that will be cherished as memories throughout our lives. Then we became Freshmen, and we started our climb to become Seniors and dwell in Homeroom M2107 As Freshmen we began to participate in athletics as players or spectators, where our hands and feet played a valuable part. In addition, we began having and attending school dances. Another milestone in our academic lives was reached when we became sophomores. We entered clubs and organizations where the co-ordination of hands and feet were necessary. Soon we were the Junior Class. This was the time we had long waited for. Instead of being spectators at the Prom and Banquet, we are now the sponsors. As Juniors our hands take on added importance when we receive our class rings. Then Prom night becomes reality and our feet guide us on the cloud of happiness dancing at our prom. The memories of our J unior-Senior Prom and other Junior events will long be remembered. We finally reached our destination. At last we were Seniors. The events dreamed of throughout the years became realities. Our senior trip, Prom, Banquet, and last but most important of all, Baccalaureate and Graduation. When we stand on stage graduation night with our hands at our sides and our feet firmly planted on the stage, our dream of receiving our diploma becomes reality. With the acceptance of our diplomas we feel mixed emotions. We are no longer Seniors, we are now stepping into life on our own. But because of the valuable knowledge, experience, and friends we gained here, we are ready to step forward and accept the re- sponsibility required of us. Now we realize, regardless of what our hands do for a life-time occupation or where our feet carry us for our various destinations, we will long remember the lessons learned and the joys expe- rienced during our high school years. So on Graduation night when our feet carry us off the stage, diplomas in our hands, we leave our Alma Mater, never again to see some of the faces that have become endeared to us. We realize that we are breaking many ties of youth because we must accept the fact that never again will the class be together as a unit. Here we disband our unity and we step forward as individuals ready to accept the responsibility required of us. Each of us goes our own individual way, but we know that no matter where we go or what we do, we'll remember you forever, Falconer High.
