I 1 } J } J 1 } { { J { { { i i O Yet We Trust Oh yet we trust that somehow good; Will be the final goal of ill, To pangs of nature, sins of will. Defects of doubt, and taints of blood; That nothing walks with aimless feet; That not one life shall be destroyed. Or cast as rubbish to the void. When God hath made the pile complete; That not a worm is cloven in vain; That not a moth with vain desire Is shrivelled in a fruitless fire, Or but subserves another ' s gain. Behold, we know not anything; I can but trust that good shall fall At last-far off-at last, to all, And every winter change to spring. So runs my dream: but what am I? An infant crying in the night: An infant crying for the light: And with no language but a cry. Alfred Lord Tennyson } I 1 There are no hopeless situations. There are only men and women who have grown hopeless about them.

J«5S «J«5»«J J »«»« « Jy ss s J tts .: t «J«5J »«»«»« I Dedication | | Mr. Argenziano has gone far beyond any other member of the faculty or administration. He has reached the students on a personal basis. His door is always open; he knows almost everyone by name, and understands our needs. Being a man of outstanding personahty, he has brought to this school a feehng of vitaUty and enthusiasm. He attends many of the school functions and makes it a point to participate actively. Some of Mr. Argenziano ' s favorites are football and basketball games, pep rallies, and dances. At the senior class pancake and sausage supper he helped flip pancakes, and at school dances he gladly per- forms his famous Indian War Dance. Besides having plenty of school spirit, our principal involves him- self in the more concrete aspects of school Ufe. Open campus, the juke box, The History of Rock assembly, and the new class rank system are a few of his achievements. Mr. Argenziano is certainly a success. He has helped the school and the students enormously. His talk is ' ' down to earth ' He doesn ' t put anyone down, neither does he use excess flattery. He ' s honest, fair, and friendly. We admire and respect him. So, we dedi- cate to Mr. Argenziano the 1973 Torch of Silver Lake High. i t ' • ' ' W W ' ' W W ' ' ' ' W ' W WW ' W W W W l

I have poetry to express — but for no one to appreciate. I have love to be given — but for no one to recieve. I have Hfe to be shared — but for no one to be my friend. I desire, dream, and imagine — but in vain. I breathe — but in necessity — as I eat and drinlc. There once was a time when there was peace and I was well. at ease. Something happened though — or someone. They say I had changed — but something ' s gained — but something ' s lost, in living every day. L.L. TO a TV newscaster Stop it! stop showing me those hands . . . those impersonal disciplined precise hands . . . folding, ever folding in stoic order that rectangle of spangled cloth, symbol of this, my country . . . folding, ever folding above some dark and heavy box watched by dark and heavy hearts . . . stop it, I say. Show me the living men . . . show them, I cry! Halt, maimed or whole . . . but men . . . returning . . . men coming home. Show me this proof of peace. JEAN GRIERSON KNOWLES
