Gage Park High School - Icarian Yearbook (Chicago, IL)

Page 12 text:

A sight that was quite familiar last winter was seeing Gage Park students, warmly dressed, their arms full of books and lunches, rushing up the school steps and quickly ducking into the building for warmth. Undoubtedly on such mornings very few stopped to admire the lovely scenery thought- fully displayed by Old Man Winter. The Icarian staff, however, is making amends with Mr. Winter by picturing here two beautiful winter scenes of our own campus.

The human heart has hidden treasures, In secret kept, in silence sealedg The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, Whose charms were broken if revealed. Cbarlotle Bronte Some day these pages will be golden with age and withered by time, but the treasures contained within, will always be fresh and glistening like a morning dewdrop. As you open the maroon and white cover and begin glancing at the pictures, many a smile will brighten your face, as you recall various and humorous in- cidents. While reading an article you come across a name and wonder what has become of that dear friend. Upon turning each page, you reflect on the great amount of knowledge acquired in ten months, usable knowledge that serves well along life's road. Yes, all your treasured thoughts, hopes, pleasures, and dreams are contained forever in this book. Noth- ing or no one can touch or harm them, for they are . . . . . memories. as r wwf' ,iii elif wftfrk y WL Mega! aff A 3 W afgfjgaff rilfljk I J s .

While the howling winds outside rushed about madly, creating intricate patterns of snowflakes and icicles, more wonderful scenes were taking place in our school gyms, classrooms, laboratories and other rooms. Scenes in which students and teachers worked side by side-each doing amiably their share of the work. We, here at Gage Park High School, realize that only through education can we prevent the coming of Winter with its prejudices, wars, and hatred in our country. Only through education can Spring bloom forth over our great land with its truth, under- standing, and democracy.
