higher educatlon colleffe But to all of us that dav ln ,lune means the end of all ties with Grover Cleveland Hwh School as students That IS why we have taken these pages to look back at those glorious four years ln hlgh school Our faculty has done its utmo t to prepare us for life Some of our class mates have fallen alonff the WHSQlIlC because they refused to become members of our school community But to those who continued there IS a much harder road ahead We are on our wav out into a new world, a world not akin to that of our school All the subjects which we have taken voluntarily or because thev were compulsorv have been prep tration for the outside world Whether thev were utilitarian studies or the broad humanities, the maln goal has been not to tram hlghlw skilled technlelans, but the most important thlno' to the world todas Our faculty has tr1ed to mold us into a SOCICIV of GOOD HUMAN BEINGS We were st1ll attendlng elementarv school when World War ll was being waged, but we do remember that that war or any wars past or ln the future could have been and can be prevented if man can succeed in training south how to live happily 1n a society of his fellow men Hltler was not the only one who realized the great potentlalitles ln training vouth for a definlte purpose 1n llfe Thls theolw dates back to the lJCf'lIlIllIl0' of recorded history The onlv thmv wrong with this theory IS that some lndlvlduals chose to train youth for an end beneficial only to thelr own minds, which are often times warped and diseased Now that we are senlor , me ourselves realize the importance of youth to we are adults W e will lcaln from the past and look to the future with new hope and optimism The ew es of the wsorld are fixed on the South of America to see to what decree thev respect and uphold the 1ntr1ns1c d1ffn1t1es of man, to see to what great helghts thev will build the world of todav As we look back on those four wears, we have nothlnff but the deepc t Ulatl tude to offer those who have spent endless hours preparinff us to be adult To our teachers and our parents thanks seem insufficient, but it 1S sincere Our classmates who have shared earh others Joys md sorrows feel at this tune a closer bond becau e of tht manx tri als they have weathered toffether Years vxlll pass swiftly after Hraduatlon, but throuffh the rest of the dass of out life we shall newer for-'ft those ma-fn ll four xeai There will aluass be those FOLR XEXRS ' DOROTIIY WEISS -. ri .
