Class of 1963 Our step forward from Old Fort School as graduates is taken with pride . , . pride in our accomplishments and our intentions. But the step is not unfaltering; for we realize that as we go, behind us we leave childhood, and before us we encounter life. During our twelve years, we have, through the dedicated guidance of our teachers, fellowship with friends, and personal endeavor, gained not only scholastic but also social education.
