Ramsey High School - Memories Yearbook (Ramsey, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 64 of the 1955 volume:

Y OPQLUOI' With the passing of time, the echoes of our school life will grow fainter and fainter, and then die away. Gone for- ever will be the routine of school life, the fun we had, and the friends we made It is the sincere hope of the 1955 Orange and Black Echoes Staff that, as you glance through this book in the years to come, you will recapture those mom- ents--and the echoes will begin again.
