DEDICATION While the theme of this yearbook is Reflections of the Past, Silhouettes of the Future,” it is the future that most of the Seniors are concerned with now. We can honestly say that our future would not look as bright if we had not known you. It is for these reasons and many more that we, the Class of 1973, do affectionately dedi- cate our Legend to you, Miss Ann Myers. Each year it is the enjoyable duty of the Senior Class to dedicate its yearbook to a member of the faculty that we feel most deserves our recognition for his or her efforts during our high school years. The individual our class has chosen deserves this honor and much more for the guid- ance and friendship she has given to the members of the Senior Class. We consider it both a rare and fortunate experience to come across a teacher who treats her students as individ- uals, an attitude which we respect and admire. When a student faces pressures and problems, you not only devote your time, but show an understanding and trust in us that is rarely equaled. Your interest in us is demonstrated through your participation in our activities, which is always appreciated. Yours is always the first name mentioned when we need an advisor or someone to aid in our numer- ous causes. 4

As Seniors we see our past reflected in memories and pictures, and also in those indistinct images and secret feelings that will ever stay in our minds as we think of high school days. We remember the routine past, such things as 8:00 to 2:30, the pledge of allegiance, riding on a crowded bus. and sitting on a lonely bench in the office. When we look back at high school, we will also see reflections of the events that were not so routine, the things we always looked forward to: a close game against a bitter rival, the throbbing rhythm of a dance, and our Junior Prom and Senior Ball. Some reflections of the past we find hard to look at. even now. When trag- edy strikes personal friends we some- times wonder if the future will be the same for us. But these reflections are fading into shadows and we must look forward to a happier future. When we think of our silhouettes of the future, we will think of ourselves as individuals. We are moving on from being part of a group of students at ICC. As seniors we can see the future near at hand as we are accepted at colleges and prepare for the life ahead. Whatever our future may bring, we all hope to find peace and happiness in our new life.

We all remember with affection how you whipped us into shape as seventh graders, and when we had you again in tenth grade you said we hadn't changed a bit. You will forever remain in our memory as a true friend and dedicated teacher. The Senior Class would like to thank you, Miss Patricia MacDowell. for your many enjoy- able classes and for the smile you never failed to give us whenever we saw you. You will always remain close to our hearts and our thoughts as a person with true wisdom and courage. We again wish to express our sincer- est thanks. 5
