Levittown Memorial High School - Echoes Yearbook (Levittown, NY)

STUDENTS, ARCHITECTS OF THE FUTURE “Building” yearbook theme for Echoes of ’64 is indeed a fitting one, in- spired as it is by the completion, this year, of our Levittown Memorial High School building. Architects, in order to plan and build well, must of necessity have two qualities: an understanding of the desired end product or the goal, the need that the building must satisfy; and at the same time he or she must have an ap- preciation of beauty that will please the beholder. The plans are drawn in such a way, that one complements the other. So too, students, in a sense, are the architects and engineers of their own future, while in school you have setting your goals and desires, and more important, have been formulating the blue prints and plans to bring them to function. Set your goals and ambitions high, as you advance through life, continually plan and work to achieve these personal goals, and then set new ones. It is the steady daily toil in our day by day activities, that will in the end help us to realize success in achievement of our most ambitious plans and projects. Edmond S. Butler A school may take on many forms. It may be built of brick, glass, ornate aluminum, or even weather-beaten clapboard. It may even change with the addition of facilities or by altering its external appearance. Still, the true character of a building is not merely a matter of appearance. The character of a building is found within. It grows and changes with its inhabitants. In the case of a school the inhabitants are the most adaptive and flexible of God’s creation—our youth. A building may grow and take on new design but the growth of the human spirit and the human mind is without limits. Donald Mills 13
