FOREWORD “Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops o f steel.” In high school are formed friendships the significance and importance of which cannot fully be appreciated until later in life. Having passed through all the confused struggles of our sophomore year, the gay fun of our junior year, and the work and dignity of our senior year, we realize that we are about to take a step which will separate us, perhaps forever. In order that we may not forget the common joys and sorrows, the losses and victories that have welded us together in a bond of friendship in our high school days, we have compiled this tangible memoir, with the hope that it will recall to us, in com- ing years, many pleasant occasions. The staff of the Year Book wishes to take this opportunity to express its deep appreciation and gratefulness to Miss Winnifred C. Lyman for her unfailing devotion and faith- fulness in assisting in publishing this edition. The valuable time, effort, and advice that she has given us and our prede- cessors are truly worthy of recognition: we humbly and sin- cerely thank her. We also wish to express our gratitude to Mrs. Gertrude F. Olsen, Miss Mildred Hannon, Miss Elsa Henchel, Miss Dorothy Pope, Mr. Everett W. Robinson, Mr. Donald P. Mattoon, and all others who have contributed to the success of this issue.
