FOREWORD Beauty is snow-silvered tree tops, Tumbling waterfalls, placid azure blue lakes, Scarlet hued twilights when the sun takes its final bow for the day. Gleaming snowflakes beholding a moon's brilliance, Dripping, drooping willow trees after a summer's deluge. Nature is a sparkling, frolicsome brook, Spring bursting forth in the buds of a crocus, Rhythm of the wind's fingers ruffling the branches of an old oak tree, Shimmering greens, golden yellows, deep browns of patch work farms. Beauty abounds in nature, nature heightens beautyg Hazy mountain views, intricate, delicate weaves of a spider's web, An immense blue sky with dashes of feathery clouds and darts of chickadees, --Fascination for all who heed. The work of nature is manifest in poems, for poets seem to be able to envision beauty in places that we fail to discern. Here in our scenic countryside, our Chenango Valley, our native or adopted land where the best things of life are free, the hurried pace of our lives causes us to ignore the beauty that has been waiting for us since the onset of time. The exotic enchantment of faraway lands, the majestic grandeur of towering peaks, the ancient relics of lost civilizations attract multitudes of tourists. But should they contemplate the wonder of their own environment, perhaps the rhythm and contour of landscapes, our own scenic attractions would become better appreciated.

PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE To the class of 1958, It is easy to say that as the years pass you will have many memories of the place where you lived as a youth. In this respect, many philosophers have said that we are a product of our heredity and environment, that the influences of our past will prejudice our actions of the future. If this is truc, perhaps the future can partially be predicted for each of you. CONRAD ll. RUPPERT Supervising, Principal We have recorded for us the backgrounds of thc great and important people of our country. They themselveshave often referred to the days and experiences of their early life. Through such sources, we find that many of our statesmen, military leaders, authors, and educators came from small communities and rural areas. All of them did prior to the turn of the century and today, although we are a nation of cities, most of our leaders have similar backgrounds. When we consider the statements above, it might be true that your early life in the Morrisville-Eaton Central School arca will be an asset to you. The truth, however, is that this will depend entirely upon you. As mentioned, many peo- ple have similarly found it an advantage to live and attend school in a small community. CONRAD H.
