e d I f o r I EDITORS FORWARD What a difference four years can make in a person, especially when the fourth year means your high school graduation. You work hard during these years. Then that special day, your graduation, finally arrives. Vith it comes the realization of what is yet to come. .As you don your cap and gown, you hegin to think about your high school years. Now they are over, yet, you have one souvenir that you can never lose, your memories. Remember the strange feeling of being the low man on the pole when you were a fresh- man? Do you remember thinking how you would never get through biology in your sopho- more year? Disecting a frog was really some- thing new. The next year you move into the magic circle of being an upperclassman. You begin to take a more serious outlook on life. Finally, you are a Senior. This is what you have been waiting for. Y ' ou ' ve made it. Then comes the senior parties, the senior class meetings, where you realize what a truly wonderful group of classmates you ' ve grown up with. Then, to crown it off. there is the senior prom, an un- forgettable evening, of fun. dancing, and remi- niscing. Now. it is 3ll over. But. not really, because we are prcsferving these memories on the following pages of this book. This vear, the theme of the 1961 REVOIR is THE KEY. It symbolizes looking back through your past and looking forward to your future. Vhat will tlfis forward look bring? That is up to vou as graduating seniors. YOU HOLD THE KEY.

Marianne along with other exchange students vill tour the Eastern section of the United States. ■When she returns to Belgium, Marianne plans to enter the University of Brussels to study medicine.
