Class JjMstorp Our turn has finally come. We are the Graduating Class of ' 62 for Lindsay Thurber Composite High School. These ceremonies mark the end of twelve years of toil towards an often times dim and distant goal. But now we have arrived! Our Grade Ten....and we are the last class to have taken Grade Ten at the Comp....has left us many memories such as that first-day confusion and our in¬ dignation at the tedious homework assignments. Rare is the student who was not embarrassed at one time or another to find himself in the wrong class. And durinq that first year many of us even wondered whether the teachers might have had experience as slave drivers in the past. Grade Eleven saw a general relaxation of principles in the homework and studying fields and enabled our increased participation in extracurricular activities. Then, last fall, we began our final year of high school. The familiar class¬ room sometimes seemed more conducive to sleep than to learning, but we were all determined to pass our courses. However, this determination often failed to take effect until that sudden burst of studying shortly before the departmentals. Any¬ way, who could do every assignment every night, especially in the face of such welcome distractions as the monthly dances and the sports activities like the newly-innovated Alumni Night? But, as our presence here tonight indicates, we have not entirely neglected our work, though I am sure every one of us has enjoyed himself. After graduating, we will be entering a new and diffdent world - a world of adults - as each one of us goes his separate way. But let us even then retain the active friendships and fond memories of our days at this school. Dick Heikkinen
