FOREWCDRD 'LET us pause for a few moments and live again those days we studied - we organized - we played.- Our school is difficult to de- Hne- it is people - it is action - it is life- it is a laboratory where knowledge is gathered, sorted, absorbed -- it is Mary getting an A and John knowing he can't but still plodding along - it is 600 voices singing in assembly - it is looking forward to the HI-LIFE on Wednesdays and Fridays - it is listening to Mr. Miller's announcements - it is the news reporters keeping us posted - it is playing the game to the best of our ability - it is cementing friendships- lf these pages which follow will help recall those days of humor, pathos, excitement, work, and play - then will our aim have been accomplished.
