Firelands Senior High School - Torch Yearbook (Oberlin, OH)

Page 7 text:

Dedication The Journalism Class wishes to dedicate this Torch to the students of Firelands High School. A school is not just a building, teachers, students, activities, athletics, or even ideals, but all go together to make a school. And you, as students have played a large part in setting the standards and building the reputation of Firelands. To most of you this was just another school year, a step nearer graduation, but to the graduating class this year was a culmination, and like a short story the conclusion fol- lowed quickly the climax. To all of you, we dedicate this book with the hope that in years to come it will help you to recall some of the happiest and most carefree days of your life. Steve Howe leads students and teachers in saying the Pledge W hen time who steals our years away Shall steal our pleasures too, The memory ofthe past will stay And hay our joys renew. -Moore 3

Foreword The 1956 TORCH will try to outline all the happenings for the years 1955 and 1956. When Time has stolen our years and we are no longer youthful, we hope its pages help you to recall all the smiles and tears-all the images of well known places and events at Firelands Schools.
