Remembrance and the Future With Understanding. ” CLASS COLORS: SPRING GREEN AND YELLOW CLASS SONG.-MV SONG I'm gonna sing my song And sing it all day long A song that never ends. How can I tell you All the things inside my head? The change in these past years Has made me see our world In many different ways. How can I tell you Love can change our destiny? Love can change your world. Love can change your life. Do what makes you happy. Do what you know is right. And love with all your might Before it's too late. Where did I find all these words? Something inside me is burning. There's life in other worlds Maybe they'll come to earth. Helping man to find a way. Musical Interlude Solemn Pomp and Circumstance. Long straight rows of blue and white. Sober, unsmiling tradition. Tradition has its place. But how unlike us it is To be so reverent. Graduation is a time for elation, and with My Song We express our joy, Our hopes, our dreams. Our rebirth. Such sky-high goals-The goals that are ours! God has given to each of us-In the Class of 1973-Wings on which to soar Into the spacious firmaments. We sing of greatness, We shout jubilance. That is why My Song Is Our Song . One day I hope we'll be In perfect harmony: A planet with one mind. Then I can tell you All the things inside my head. I'm gonna sing my song And sing it all day long A song that never ends, How can I tell you All the things inside my head? I'm gonna sing my song ... A song that never ends.

It was but yesterday that we were children, Living in our worlds of make-believe and fantasy. Today we have grown, and our lives have changed; Our world of make-believe has turned to dreams, And our dreams to reality. Together we have learned and discovered. Growing friendships have enriched our lives, And lasting friendships we have made them. As we look back on the past twelve years, We look back in pride, For we have worked to better ourselves, To reach our goals and strive beyond them; For we, the Class of 1973, have truly touched the sky.

Which Is Better God Only Knows. - Plato - STRENGTH OF LITTLE THINGS These may seem strong: A tree, a tower, The ice that winter brings, Yet have found a greater strength In little things. A weathered toy and little train With bright wheels torn apart Left by small hands that death has stilled Can break the Heart. -Unknown- (The poem above was Mary Lou's selection to teach to English Eleven Class just before her untimely death.)

For many of us, this is our final school year and for others only the beginning of more school days before us. No matter what may lie ahead, we, the staff, present the 1973 Thunderbolt in hopes that you will reflect upon your past school days, the joys and the sorrows, in the unforgettable school life memories of homecoming, senior musical, the prom, and graduation in years to come. In the past pages, we have tried to capture the memory of each activity of this important year in our life. After many heartbreaks and long hours of work sessions, we hope to have allowed you to relive the memories of the entire year captivate within the few pages of our treasured edition.
