We tend to ask ourselves these questions: ' Have you, our graduates, made the most of the educational experiences a •ailable to you? Are you read - for the next and biggest step of all? We have but to re iew the names of our graduates to receive our assurance: As a class you ha e worked hard; you are eager to prove that you are ready. You lea e with our every good wish that you reap life ' s awards in good measure. Remember us as you build the future for which we have striven to prepare you. Godspeed! Ver ' truh ' ours, George W.

r efiecti lond Reflections are thoughts. Tlioughts of the past ear make us realize how ({uickl} it has gone. Tense, once endless, mo- ments ha e passed witli the happ ones that we treasuri ' and save. Reflections are looking hack. Certain da s are important. The senior looks to the day when he was first recognized as a leader of the school; the junior to tlie da when he could proudly say, I ' m an upperclassman. ; the st)phomore to the da when he left the ranks of the lo l freshman; and the freshman to the first da in high school, when everything seemed so big and bewildering, and all of his friends seemed to have deserted him. Reflections are contemplation. Considering w hat we have achieved in the past alwa s makes us regret the time we ha e wasted. The heav load of classwork is lifted now ; for some it is the beginning of a new and difterent phase of life. School life seems sheltered and simple, decisions minor, antl tlioughts shal- low compared with those of the graduating seniors. Reflections cast back. ' e reflect ever thing we ha c ever l)een a part of. We reflect the people wc lia e known, our close friends, and our school. In a real sense what we have become depends upon how hard we ha e stri en, for Foreman has afforded us countless opportunities to better ourseKes. Reflections are never-ending. The ar( tinged with the nostalgia of esterda , the necessit - of toda . and the hnpr of tomorrow. And ma our reflections of the future be lialf as beautiful as those of the past.
