FAIR SHAKER ... IN HER FRAME OF GREEN. THIS is how we shall remember our school. We shall remember the sundrenched beauty of quiet afternoons when we lounged under the protective trees that line the oval green where Shaker stands. We shall remember the great show the fat grey squirrels used to put on just outside the first floor class- room windows, running and flaunting their tails and hiding nuts. We shall remember that here we pursued academic perfection, that ever receding dimension. Here we tried to gain variety of experience through par- ticipation in clubs and activities. We made our greatest achievements in our last year, as seniors. Especially as sen- iors, but throughout our high school years, we were deeply concerned with time, the fourth dimension of life. We did not confine our education to the high school, but tried to extend our knowledge by going out into the homes and shops of the Shaker community. Our education was a life process measurably influenced by the people around us — both teachers and students. They caused us to change our ideas, thoughts, and, sometimes, our ways of behavior. Our relations with them changed our perspectives. We saw quiet tragedy in a dark corner, and we learned that life is hard. We saw some of the individual nobility which man has attained, and we learned that life is good. We shall remember Shaker as a place of beauty where the individ- ual spirit could grow. 17 )H ' f ' rr- TY
