Princeton High School - Tiger Yearbook (Princeton, WV)

Page 5 text:

A yearbook is a memory book of words and pictures; a history of the current year, that keeps memories forever fresh and new, and the people pictured forever young. In the yearbook, time stands still; there is only NOW -- and the promise of things to come. Yet, we look back only in reverie -- Life goes not backward, nor tarries with yesterday. Unafraid, we look ahead to the future, challenged by what it holds for us. The youth of today ARE the leaders of tomorrow. What can we, as youth, do to prepare ourselves for our roles as adults? First, we must take ourselves seriously and realize that we have great work to do. We are not unimportant extras in the great drama of life --we play principal roles and we write our own script; we cast ourselves, and we direct the play. We are not puppets on a string, presenting the thoughts and ideas of others. This pictorial essay, of PRINCETON HIGH SCHOOL in 1966, was born of dreams and created under the pressure of reality is dedicated to all teenagers, those of our school and of our nation.
