Foreword Time is a flowing river. Happy those who allow themselves to be carried, unresisting, with the current. They float through easy days. They live, unques- tioning, in the moment, wrote Christopher Morley. The pleasures enjoyed during this first year of peace will not come again. Peace brought with it the promise of a new school and allowed the resumption of activities which were restricted during the war years. And so it has been the purpose of the 1946 Sycamore to aid in the reminiscence of those pleasures and to present with the informality of school life the events of the past year. May this book serve as a living record of the present and increase in value to its owner. Page S

llJedication This year with all its happy moments has brought to an end the high school career of the graduating class of 1946. It is they who must face the problems of a world that needs rebuilding and create for themselves from the wreck of war the better life made possible by the war ' s end. As Eva Rose York once wrote: Though rising suns their radiance throw On summer ' s green and winter ' s snow, In such rare splendor that my heart Would ache from scenes like these to part; Though beauties heighten, And life-lights brighten, And joys proceed from every pain — I shall not pass this way again. The graduates will not pass this way again through their experiences of the last four years. Hawthorne said, Time flies over us, but leaves its shadow behind. The shadows time has left with these seniors are the memories of those experiences, and to add another memory to their collection, this book is dedicated to them. Page 7
