Holten IGH-LITE

COMMENT ON NAME CHANGE This year the Senior classbook of Holten High School is en- titled Holten High-Lite. This title was decided upon by the class by ballot after due consideration. Names were submitted by var- ious class members and were placed on a ballot which was sub- mitted to the class by the Senior Executive Council. The class decided that a change of title this year was nec- essary because it was the consensus of opinion that the title The Cornelian should not be used again. This feeling was held, since it was thought that The Cornelian should be a special commemo- rative issue of the classbook. Using the title The Cornelian only once would make the issue a singular tribute to Mr. Dunn, our former principal. The traditional title of the classbook The Onion was also felt to be an inappropriate title for the book this year. This feeling was held because Danvers is no longer noted for its large onion production. The title also seemed inappropriate because the common connotation of the word onion makes the title ex- tremely incongruous. We feel that the choice Holten High-Lite is one of the best possible titles for the Holten High Senior classbook. The word Holten serves as an excellent word to connect the book writh Hol- ten High School. The word High also connects the book with high school. Finally, the word High-Lite serves to emphasize that the book contains the highlights and chief remembrances of high school life. Thus, we, the Senior Class of 1959, feel that Holten High- Lite is an excellent title choice for our classbook. We sincerely believe this, and we strongly hope that this title will be the beginning of a long and distinguished series of Holten High-Lites.
