FOREWORD A tiny ray of light attracted our attention And we began our search. . . Freshman year witnessed the beginning of many friendships. Tension. . insecurity prevailed, yet the light continued to grow each day. Exploring our hearts and minds for answers to life, We as Sophs took the world into our hands. . . But we had yet to learn how to handle it. Some remained hidden from reality, refusing to leave their own little worlds, For our search had deepened. Our spirit grew and we became part of a school we loved. Hoarse after games, we were proud to be ourselves. . proud to be Bernardians. The light grew brighter, for now we, Juniors, had stepped up the pace To greet the world with our ideas. Laughter filled our hearts, but at times we became saddened— For we were becoming ourselves—finding love. . . Seeking truth and happiness. We quit playing the “games of life,” And looked toward the light for a pathway through a temporary darkness. We then realized who we truly were... And so now as Seniors we must accept this. For we had become a part of each other, Sharing the feelings of our hearts, minds, and souls. Arms opened, many greeted the world, yet still some fell back uncertain. . . A deep sense of beauty prevailed, For now the light was so luminous upon a clear, calm sea. At times when winds became strong, the sea became changed and wild... — But would we. . .? And then some determined, and some timid, stepped forward, And reached their hand to life to accept their “Place in the Sun.” The search was ended—for some. . . —Betty Morrissey— FITCHBURG PU®LIC LIBRARY : FITCHBURG, MASS.
