“Though we (bP thie (Dros: e 6 e a As you leaf through the pages of this, the last edition of ‘‘YE OLDE TOWNE CRIER‘“‘, you will see several pictures of people with whom you may not be familiar. Before you start thinking you have the wrong annual, let us enlighten you. Those are pictures of Old Town alumnae and alumni. You'll probably laugh, though with a nostalgic twinge on the part of many of you, when you see them, for what was once high style in hair and clothes, has yielded to passing time, as the bobby sox of to- day must shortly give way to newer fads. These Old Town students of yesterday laughed, perhaps cried, over the important events in a teen-ager’s life--that first date, the outcome of a championship game, an ‘‘F’’ in some difficult subject--even as you and I. Old Town is still their high school, just as it is ours. It belongs to them because they set the pace that we have tried to maintain. They were the principle building blocks of a high school in which we take great pride. With the graduation of the class of 1955, our school reaches the end of an era.

Farewell, Old Town, Part of each heart with thee stays.’’
