GLOVERSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL COMPLETES HER RIZVGING HALLS THAT WILL FOREWORD Amidst tall elms and spacious lawns a mighty building stands with the name-Gloversville High School-scrawled across its massive front. Yes, Seniors of the Class of 1961, you will be the last to enjoy the life contained within these old walls. The Seniors of tomorrow will not share in the life of creaking stairs and crowded classrooms nor in the joys, tears, laughter, and happiness we have known. No longer will her arms reach out to us, giving us the wisdom contained within her walls, making us the citizens of tomorrow. Our footsteps will be the last to echo down those beloved halls. But will the old be forgotten for the new? Will the footsteps of the -graduating Class of 1909, now mingled with the succeeding ones, cease to echo? No, memories can not be erased. Her im- pression and teachings will always remain deep in our hearts. As the last graduating class we leave without regret, but with remorse and tender silence for what has stood before us as a symbol of peace, democracy, and the American way of life. We, the Oracle Staff of 1961, as our last tribute to the scho-ol we love, present the theme of the 1961 Oracle, HRETIRING THE BUILDINGL' C O N T E N T S Dedication ,,,,,,,,.,.i,,-,, Faculty ,....,....
