There are those who have left their mark on one's mind ... etched forever in the heart. Some have left their lasting presence behind in their school and town. Others have departed leaving their life for all to remember. Then there are those who have left all three ... Friends depart and memory takes them to her caverns, pure and deep. — T. H. Baily Even though Phillip has left our pres- ence, his memory will be forever in the caverns of our minds. 54 The best help is not to bear the troubles of others for them, but to inspire them with courage and energy to bear their burdens for themselves and meet the difficulties of life bravely. — John Lubboch Throughout our four years at RCS we've traveled many worn paths... went our own way ... created new routes, but through the helpful guidance of our advisors, Mr. Maxim and Mrs. Damon, we've never strayed too far from our chosen course. So, we would like to take this opportunity to extend our sincere thanks to two people who’ve put up with our let downs, our victories — our class. Thank you, Mr. Maxim and Mrs. Damon, for all you've done for us. Friendship hath the skill and observation of the best physician, the diligence and vigi- lence of the best nurse, and the tenderness and patience of the best mother. — Edward Clarendon Friendship throws a greater lustre on prosperity, while it lightens adversity by sharing in its grief and anxieties. 55 ZO-----1 — O m ID T) TJ Arsenic and Old Lace — May 9 and 10 1.
