FOREWORD eshmen enter thy portalsg seniors leave them be- hind. These words from our Alma Mater are symbolic of the procession each student enters upon beginning school. VV hen we first memorize the words, their mean- ing is trivial to the fast pace of high school activity. Then, as graduation year draws nearer, we inspect each word and phrase more carefully, only to find that they express every thought and feeling we have toward Roy- Hart. The inspiration of truth, character, strength, and guidance is instilled in our minds. We are encouraged to experiment with these until they become part of our everyday being. Our futures are dependent on our present. Therefore, the influence of our school days is ever important for success. Alma Materv means second or foster mother, so Royalton-Hartland plays this role as she molds -our characters and trains our minds. As each year passes, the Alma Mater becomes more meaningful and is gradually buried in our souls, only to be un- covered when the recalling of old times occurs. As the Alma Mater was written by a Roy-Hart student, it be- longs only to this school and its people. lt will always be available to be grasped as a memory of our youth, whereas other connections will fade with the years. Therefore, with the world enlarging its boundaries, with its problems becoming more urgent and confusing, our important education and the ability to fall back on old traditions give us a sense of security. With these thoughts in mind, the staff has chosen our Alma Mater as the 1966 SCOPE theme. Fr 'E in .JW

N i?:t2:QS1.fff .. .s..f,,..,, As our library has grown through the years, so has our respect and admiration for its keeper, Mrs. Doris Bunnell. She joined the R1-ICS staff in February of 1951 after twenty years of public library work and one-half year of teaching at Casenovia High School. Her training be- gan in Syracuse after she graduated from Middleport High School. At Syracuse University she earned her B. S. degree in library and English and later received her M. S. in library science at Geneseo. Mrs. Bunnell has spent much time and effort teaching us the library system and urging each student to practice good study habits. She is always willing to stop her work and aid a puzzled or researching teacher or pupil. From seventh grade to our senior year, Mrs. Bunnell has taken the task of preparing us for college study as well as teaching the general library skills needed in everyday living. Her knowledge of literature, authors and research materials is invaluable to all of us. As you show off our fine library, Mrs. Bunnell, we show our pride in you, our librarian, by dedicating to you the 1966 edition of SCOPE. 5
