When notified of the official grades and the certainty of graduation, there were many echoes to be heard, of cheering teams on to victory, the bell at the change of classes, and the ominous voice on the loudspeaker This is Mr. Rusch. Speaking.' Now cherish that time you forgot that homeroom was changed from after fourth to the beginning of the day, and you wandered around lost, mystified, bewildered. Out in the outside world, remember that the school still stands, poised, to educate the next year’s seniors. Halls now hollow, lockers cleaned and the dust and smoke of the exuberant class of’69 still rise and settle. Hall mothers conquered, teachers befriended, subjects passed, friend made. A group of 1066 hopeful educated young people now charge out onto the playing fields, hearing the speeches, the awards, and nostalgia. Hope, ambition, and education, go out and help the world. Pledging: noses push nickels. 27
