Uhr Zlllnmvr Elhat Ellnnmrh We were a mere flower seed Planted 1n school long ago Mlxed ln wxth dlfferent weeds Gulded by the teacher s hoe Some grew by leaps and bounds Others grew very slow Wlth the tender care we got Our m1nds began to grow The heavens opened frequently And showered us w1th knowledge Some of us took a buslness course Whlle others planned for college We thrlved well upon our food The books and hours of study We had a thlrst for learnlng And grew beslde our buddy Were only the tears we shed The end of school was nearlng And who knew what lay ahead' The sun shone down upon us From the Sk18S so blue above It k1SS6d our sk1n Wlth goodness Promotmg brotherly love We changed from that l1ttle seed To a bud about to burst Twevle years of good tlmes have passed From thls year back to the first Here we are on Commencement Day A garden of wondrous flowers About to begm l1fe s Journey Through happy and sorrowful hours Who knows when we w1ll be p1cked Who knows where we ll make our stand? All IS up to the future And the path shown by God s hand MYRNA ANN SALTMAN Class Poet The rains that slashed our faces

Sm M211 lllvmemhrrrh How well we remember the days when first we entered Revere High School' How vast it seemed to us and how foreboding' Yet today the famlliar brick buxldmg IS as much a part of us as the clothes we wear Its every corridor and classroom, every stairway and door are as well known to LIS db lll UUI UWII IIUXIICS NOW WIICII W9 dit! SU Luluplelgly one wlgn ljnese Surrgunqlngs We must lgave Is it any wonder that we look upon graduation wlth mixed emotions? The feelings we have are natural yet lf We sad Think of what we take with us from our high are wise we cannot help but be more happy than school years' Our minds are more enriched than ever we dreamed posslble our bodies more mature broadened Truly thls last IS the most lmportant When our famlly and the block we lived on As the years around us and the city we lived 1n By the time we our memories more lasting and our viewpoints first we entered school our lives were bound by progressed we became more aware of the people reached Junior hlgh school we began to evaluate our relationship to our surroundings Clothes became vital so too popularity and littmg with the crowd was the most important thing on earth to us But later as we started our high school career we began to have our first real opinions as indlviduals Deviations from the accepted ideas were haltmg and cautious but they were there Perhaps We began to think that there 1s something more lmportant than what we re domg Saturday nlght Or what the latest style in Jackets will be Surrounded by people who were loudly proclaiming our generation to be worthless we began our first tentative steps toward maturlty Joln and not necessarily the one our friends belonged to We found the courage to say what we thought about people and ideas regardless of whether or not our theory was contrary to popular opinion Although we were and are tar from bemg completely mature still slave to the latest fashlon craze or the newest song we at least were ready to admit our deficiencies and to make some attempt to correct them By the time we had reached our Junior year we were thoroughly aware of the world around us What the future held became vltally important and Jazz happy teen agers in bobby sox and crew cuts vehemently argued politics or the future of the atomic bomb Then came semor year when each day that passed brought us new respons1b1l1t1es new cares and new fun We looked at each other and we realized that numbered in our ranks were the future doctors lawyers businessmen and politicians of the world Now the mam topic of conversation was What are you domg next year We filled out appli cation forms were interviewed for Jobs and watched for the mail By the time June came most of us knew what the immediate future would hold and as we paused a moment to figuratively catch our breath we realized that the semor year was gone and graduation was upon us Now we are almost through and soon our high school years will be merely a memory yet the things we have galned from them w1ll remam with us always Ours IS a troubled and far from perfect world The life before us will doubtless be dlmCl11t and not always pleasant yet it is ours to do with as we will I remember a Jingle we used to say Rich man poor man beggar man thief doctor lawyer Indian chief ' Now the choice IS ours No one can tell us what tomorrow will bring all have an equal chance Our years of growing up throng as individuals and lndlvlduals we will remam yet we can be secure in the knowledge that we have msured us of that We emerged from the free people in a free country no matter what the cost of that freedom may be We cannot therefore grieve for our lost high school years So much of what they brought us will remam For the world is not so very large as lt once seemed and our safe and sheltered years were merely preludes to a more wonderful tomorrow BEVERLY FAY SWERLING Class Orator - ' . - Q v . xv 1 . .
