CONWAY Principal Vocational High School Always a wise admin- istrator, AAr. Conway has been responsible for the close coordination of ac- tivities — social, athletic, and class — between the two high schools.

Editorial We must now accept the challenge of the future as we leave forever from the halls of S.H.S. The future, indeed, is so unpredictable that no one can possibly foresee what will happen. All we know is that it will be left to us, the new generation, to meet the call and demand of tomorrow. We all hold cherished memories of our high school days. We shall long remember our fear as we entered S.H.S. as freshmen and our sense of pride and achievement as we took the Color Day trophy from the sen- iors in our junior year. We shall long look back upon the dances, the foot- ball games, the parties, the proms, and so many other events that have meant so much to us. More important still are the lasting remembrances —our warm friendships and our acquired knowledge. We will never for- get, either, the unselfishness and understanding of our parents and teach- ers as they helped us through these critical years. Yet, as much as we desire to cling to these memories, we must now turn and face a world full of wonder and horror. A duty has been left us, a duty to keep the world at peace, to rid it of its selfishness and greed, and thus inevitably to make it a better place in which to live. America, so great and powerful in its unobstructed democracy, is waiting for us to continue this heritage. A page has now turned in our books of life. For some of us, the next holds college, for many others, a first encounter in the business world. Whatever our dreams and ambitions, however, we may be sure that S.H.S. has played an important part in them. We are truly grateful. Carol A. Waksmonski Editor-in-Chief
