Foreword A trip is much more than the journey itself. Planning, preparation, and anticipation all play important parts in the success of the voyage. The 1959 Reflections Staff saw the great similarity between these phases of a trip and our years in high school. Accordingly, we chose as our theme “Bon Voyage.” No one knows exactly when or whence the thought came; yet, the idea of taking a trip slowly became implanted in our minds. Our yearning increased, and suddenly it was no longer just an idea. The decision was made and preparations for the voyage began. We worked hard; each year saw us closer to our goal. Individually, each member of our class decided where he wanted to journey and what he himself planned to contribute to the trip. Together, we studied travel folders and completed our arrangements. At last the trip became a reality. When we received our passports, anticipation absolutely sparked through the air. As we embark on our trip through life and sail away from the dock, everyone will exclaim, “Bon Voyage!” This is our theme. It is truly appropriate, for we are the last class to graduate from this building. So “Bon Voyage,” S.H.S. And here, in the Foreword, is the most fitting place to look toward the new school, to look forward, to gaze into the future. 2
