In the eye of the mind high school events become unclear distorted, kaleidoscopic, as time goes by. Memories of crowded halls, happy music, gaiety, laughter, tears of joy, tears of sorrow, friends, foes, become blurred with the years. The class bell, homework, the thrill of a winning game, the kind help from teachers, become things of the past, never to be retained as a clear picture in the mind. 1958 was a year of great learning, vitally important at the time, but fading into the background as other years come and go. lVe remember events, important and unimportant, to be retained forever in our hearts. live see weighty problems turn to vague memories as time goes by. lVe see our companions, each gone his own way as the years fade into one another, yet never forgotten. But most of all, in the kaleidoscopic eye of the mind . . we see ourselves.

Times of ecstatic happiness turn to fond memories as time travels on its way. Clubs and imlmortzmt school events become a blur of faded thoughts. Dances, assemblies, every important school event is carefully, pictorially recorded as the school life and activities of the school, to aid the eye of the mind in the recollection of fond memories.
