Modesto High School - Sycamore Yearbook (Modesto, CA)

With the advancing years, memories tend to become our most cherished possessions. Old friends seem to grow in stature, and the memories of our youth take on a deeper sig- nificance. It is because of this that your school year- book will increase in value with the passing years. What amuses you today, as you leaf through its pages, will have a far richer mean- ing when viewed from the vantage point of more mature years. To those of you who are graduating, I want to wish the maximum fulfillment of your every hope and dream. It is the sincere hope of the people of your school that your ex- periences at Modesto High School have been both pleasant and profitable. L. L. JONES Principal ' •.
