THE AGE OF AQUARIUS 'Harmony and Peace - Sympathy and Love - Visions ofa better tomorrow - Aquarius! Aquarius is the great age which is now dawning. It anticipates a time of revela- tions and expansions. Aquarius is now! It is everything that has already hap- pened this year and our expectations for the upcoming decade. Man has landed on the moon and already he has visions of Mars. With the accomplishment and suc- cess of the lunar expeditions, all men are now more confident that numerous prob- lems can be solved. There is certainly, in the spirit ofApollo ll, afeeling that true unity and harmony and peaceful co- existence are possible. As man continues to explore into space, so he will, at the same time, be solving the problems of his own world. Mike Collins, of the Apollo ll crew, expressed it quite simply and beautufully in these words: 'Y think man has always gone where he could, he has always been an explorer. There 's a fascination in ex- ploring and thrusting out to new places. . . I really think the key is that man has al- ways gone where he could and he must continue. He would lose something terri- bly important by having that option and not taking it. In the following pages of our yearbook, we, the Seniors of McKinley, hope to give a more meaningful definition of the Age of Aquarius by our everyday activi- ties. Under the influence of Aquarius, our minds will be liberated, and our pens will be given a wide rein over the trend of our thoughts. Perhaps these pages will also reflect a truly understanding McKinley, which has also widened its horizons with the beginning of this new era. Donna Kennedy 9H1.

Came In Peace joe' All Mankind DEDICATION A new age began when man first stepped on the moon's surface at 10:56.20 p.m. on July 20, 1969. Many of the millions who watched the televised image of Neil Armstrong, setting foot on the lunar, soil, had a pro- found sense that the earth would never quite be the same again. Neitherwould be the moon. On July 20, 21, Tranquility Base, which they inhabited for 21 lf 2 hours, became man's first temporary settlement in a new world. Apollo 11 was more than an epic voyage culminating in a dramatic landing on the moon. It was also a new act of self- discovery and a further extension of man's efforts to learn more about himself and his universe. The gift of knowledge may be the greatest achievement of the Apollo 11 mission. We at McKinley salute Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Mike Collins, for their part in trying to bring the world a little closer together. We salute their efforts in the quest for knowledge and adventure 5 but most of all we appreciate their efforts towards world peace--the ideals of the Age of Aquarius. To these three heroes of our own age, we dedi- cate our yearbook. Joseph Cafiero 9A1 TO DREAM- THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM Mc KINLEY SALUTES THE METS They did it! An impossible dream became a fact! The feeling of joy and pride can't be expressed in words. Only a few years ago we were dreaming about this great accom- plishment. Now on Oct. 21, 1969 The New York Mets really became the world champions. - We put all our faith in them and we were hoping for the best. The victory of the Mets represents something very meaningful to all of us. It is the dream of a new day where the impossible dreams become reality. The faith inthe men, the will to go again even if we lose the first time is the beginning of the future where all mankind will win the game and accomplish its dreams. Susan Szabo QA1
