The editors discuss Traditions. TRADITIONS Traditions, echoes from the past Mingled with Today's, Encompass memories that will last Though time goes on always. As the years flow gently on, As these words flow from my pen, As season follows season, And the now” becomes the then ; Recall the work, the grief, the joys Experienced in the past, When we were all but girls and boys . . . These memories will last! For Traditions are but memories Kept alive by constant use. Our lives are built with such as these; With love and trust, faith and truth, All taught to us along with Math, Geography, and History To guide us on Life's rocky path, To help us solve its mystery. The past and present are entwined In ways beyond description. And in your mind, may you always find The Echoes of Tradition. -—Carol Townill The Editor Junior Co-editors Advisers.........
