Ithaca High School - Annual Yearbook (Ithaca, NY)

Page 17 text:

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.

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 strange combination of feelings, of pride and satisfaction at having made real achievements, of concern for how we would do in the future, made this year a mixture of ela- tions and disappointments. -tiff, K

At the end we leave, without false regrets, the old focal point of our days. We take with us the memories of a day, with all its sights and sounds and smells entangled forever in our senses, ever waiting for the sight of a friend or the sound of a phrase to call up the whole world of Ithaca High School and bind together our scattered lives. ,-
