F OREWORD at A' The sun is rising in the east breaking through a layer of clouds just above the horizon. Down in a valley, a town nestles sleepily with just the slightest hint of awakening. ' A few lights glimmer in,some of the homes where boys rise early to deliver milk on one of 'the local routes or deliver newspapers to neighborhood homes before school. Lights also shine in the farmhouses and barns on the outskirts of the slumbering town as farmers do their chores. This is birth - the birth of a new day in our town - Groton. This birth gives life to the town, it makes its people bustle and scurry to their jobs, it makes others do their housework and manage their homes, and the new day also brings to life the school where the' younger citizens of the community spend a large share of their day. , - The people are now at work in the many shops and businesses in town, in their homes, or on their farms. Life has now settled down to its work-a-day routine for everyone. T Housewives have done their washing and are busy in their kitchens. Factory workers are working steadily as the regular, rhythmic noise of their machines can be heard on the street. And uptown in the business district, many merchants have stopped their mid-morning activities for a coffeee break. The young people of the town are all in school learning to becomethe citizens of tomorrow. ' At noon work stops in mpst places to give workers and students time for lunch. The new day has now reached its mid-point. Work continues on in the afternoon. At 3:10 the students are dismissed from school. Many of the high school pupils either go home to work or else are employed uptown in one of the grocery stores, variety stores, or offices of local professional men. The students also become part of the community. i ' T . In. the late afternoon the shops begin to close, workers go home for their evening meal. After dinner, many citizens settle down with their evening paper or maybe they attend a meeting of one of the many clubs in town. Perhaps at night the working people of the town attendean adult education class at the school. Y t T The teen-agers sometimes go back to school after dinner for a special meeting of a club, for a basketball game, or to rehearse for the play to be presented to the towns- people. Many of them stay home at night to do their homework, also. , And now as it grows later, lights in the town blink off. Everyone goes to sleep to prepare for the coming day. A This is life in our town. To record some of the scenes of daily living here, we present to you our book, 1958 In Retrospect. T 4 X f S XA 1 V0 C?
