The experiences of the senior year were not unlike what we had an- ticipated, and yet were so much richer than the narrow scope of expectation can encompass.

The class of 1962 has a special memory, however, which sets us apart from those to come: we are the last of the old-timers , carry- ing with us the fading impressions of a sophomore year in a huge, dark fortress which now has a new name and a new set of inmates. Arriving for our iunior year ot a new and spacious campus was like bursting from a cave into open air 'WH S . . . but perhaps at times some of us grew a little nostalgic for clark, familiar walls and that enforced togetherness of the Old School.

We recall the events of this past year which have made lasting impressions, and also the fleeting ones which were significant only for the moment when they occurred. Dances, College Boards, Regents and National Merit Scholarship Exams, the choir candy sale, the band trip, football games, the Tattler all merge into a kaleidoscopic panorama of the 1961-62 year. We suffered through the endless college and job applications and gloried in the blizzards which gave us unexpected freedom from the daily grind. The seniors had their special activities which were at once so exhilarating and so much more ordinary than we had expected. Somehow we have come through it all, and every milestone passed has added another coveted battle scar.
