jk XJQQK6 j0lf'QWL6LlfL lt is said that the teen-age years are the happiest and most carefree of all. During these years our lives center aronnd our sehool and the friends we meet there. As we grow older we hreak away from the sc-hool's influence. hut its guidance in our relationships with others remains with us. Our high school shows ns, through the competition we find in it, that we must think for ourselves, and eontrihute something constructive it we wish to make our mark in the world. lt gives us the most important part of our education at the most impressionahle period ol' our lives. llere our characters are molded, and we are set on the road to heing good eitizens. NVe are confident that making its students good citizens is the main ohjeetive ot Foremanis positive guidance. During our career at Foreman we have walked through its halls innnmerahle times. They have led us to our class rooms. in which our thirst lor knowledge has lmeen not quenched, hut stimulated. ln them we have made lriendships which will last through our entire lives. YVhen we first entered the school the halls seemed strange to ns, hut as our familiarity with what we found in and ahout them increased, we developed a deep sense ol pride and alleetion towards lforeman. NVQ' can now look hack upon countless hours of fun as well as learning. pride as well as disappointmeiit, with a feeling ol regret that they must come to an end. lt is a sad day in our lives when we realize that it is time to say farewell to the llalls of lforeinan, hut this sadness is tempered hv eager willingness to live the adventurous days that lie ahead.
