Oakwood High School - Acorn Yearbook (Fithian, IL)

Oakwood High School students have demonstrated the ability, and knowledge that will be useful in the years to come. Knowledge can only be turned into wisdom when tempered with common sense and a deep conviction to do your best. The Seniors of 1973 have been witnesses to an era of confusion and open hostility to some of the basic principles of a democratic society, but they weathered the storm well. It is my hopes that these trying times will be put to good use in preparing your sons or daughters for their future. We should establish certain common values of goodness and not let them be negotiable. Winston Churchill once said In the past we had a light which flickered, in the present we have a light which flames, ... and in the future there will be a light which shines over all the land and sea, . This should remind us of our hopes and wishes which are vested in the youth of today. 3 Our Principal
