We have enjoyed our last days here—those when the blizzards of '61 did not force us to remain reluctantly at home—and have emerged richer in knowledge, happy that we have had the experience of receiving the best in education. Our spacious new school has been a pride to us whenever visitors have entered our hallowed halls. Yes, opportunity has indeed knocked upon our door. You should now consider the question: what does your yearbook mean to you?
