HERITAGE TO HONOR THE PAST TO LIVE IN THE PRESENT TO PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE TO HONOR THE PAST--------- As students walked the halls of Plymouth High, listened to teachers, whispered to neighbors, and cheered themselves hoarse at the Friday night games, they were honoring the past In the same established tradition as In the past, they used knowledge and spirit to honor the generations before who had done these same things They were done as a part of living, taking place In the continuum of the past and Its heritage. TO LIVE IN THE PRESENT........ Living in the present was discovering oneself, experiencing the present, and at the same rime molding futures Sometimes a mask was worn in the present, and upon lifting the mask the future hut glimpsed It was lifted as they flunked a history test, backed the team, or passed that special one in the hall Soon the mask was there no longer; they had found themselves their Uses and their future Because for a little while, living in the present, they lived a very special part of their heritage TO PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE........... As Freshmen, the future seemed dim. Scorn greeted them from upperclassmen, and laughter at their red faces made it worse. Theb envy of others labeled them as what they were for a year. Freshmen As Sophomores, they were stepping up in the world They matched their scorn for Freshmen with the same hostility they received but a year ago As Junkers. things couldn’t have been better A year of showing off class rings, talking to Seniors, discussing current events, and it was the year of the prom - that all-important date that brought them a step closer to the destiny of their lives. . , . As Seniors, the year was to be Uved. One day they skipped school, the next they sweat semester marks The cuss of '69 walked the lulls like kings, they were Number One Seniors. And when that final phase came, Ihey faced the caps and robes and the sea of faces in the best way they knew how: the way they had been taught for four years, the way of their heritage TABLE OF CONTENTS STUDENT LIFE 2 ACADEMICS 26 ACTIVITIES 50 ATHLETICS 86 ALBUM 108 Seniors no Juniors 130 Sophomores 138 Freshman 142 SENIOR BIOGRAPHY.
