Hicksville High School - Comet Yearbook (Hicksville, NY)

Page 9 text:

A Message from the Editor A yearbook is one of the few tangible things we can take with us from high school. Much of what we learned here we will forget; many of the people we knew here we will never see again; many of the good times we enjoyed here only yesterday we will no longer remember tomorrow. That is why the end of high school can be such a sad experience. For, besides finishing school, it means ending many of the friendships and activities that we have come to feel as a part of ourselves. We can’t, we won’t, we say, let these remembrances escape us; yet human memory is frail, and what is sharp and real today will be obscure and beyond recollection a year from today. Are there any of us who think now that we will forget our best friends, our favorite teachers, our date to the Senior Ball, or our life at Hicksville High School? Are there any of us who think we will someday be unable to remember the places we visited on our trip to Washington, who we went with to that dance, when we were first able to understand French (or Spanish, or English, or math, or typing), or what time the alarm clock a- wakened us every week day for forty weeks? Can anyone forget one-way halls, the construction of the new wing, first period at half past seven in the morning (or eleventh at ten to five in the evening), or buses that picked up seniors before dawn and brought sophomores home after dark? These aspects of our lives, and innumerable others that were classes, and clubs, and dances, and friends, and plays, and meetings, and graduation, are some of the things we would like to remember about Hicksville High in years to come. ♦ A yearbook cannot provide you with your high school years: each per- son must make those for himself. But a yearbook can help you to remember whom you met, what you did, where you went, how you felt, and when you laughed or relaxed or loved or cried. I hope that as you turn these pages you will be able to recall all of these. If so, then every effort that produced this book will have been amply rewarded.

IN MEMORIAM ROBERT FLASHENBERG 1947-1961 Never more will the wind Cherish you again, Never more will the rain. Never more Shall we find you bright In the snow and wind. The snow is melted, The snow is gone, And you are flown: Like a bird out of hand, Like a light out of our heart, You are gone. 4
