St Teresas Academy - Avila Yearbook (Kansas City, MO)

Page 8 text:

There is nothing that vanishes more quickly than time. We are born and before long we are adults trying to cope in a very diffi- cult world. Most of us fail to realize how quickly the moments of our youth pass until they are over. Whether or not we should concern ourselves with the passing of time is a questionable is- sue in the minds of most. Time routinely passes day to day ac- knowledged by only a few. Experience shows us that the com- pletion of four years, which as freshmen we regard as an eternity, slips by us ever so quickly. Freshman year seems to pass in an instant. The first fears of a new school are soon gone. Being newcomers we have a lot to learn and a lot of time to learn it. Sophomore and Junior years seem to drag on as se- niority is built up with the many firsts such as Teresian, class rings, and Prom. At last the final year arrives and it's filled with many great experiences. From September to May the time flies until it's all over. Looking back it seems ironic. From the first moment of Freshman year we longed for graduation but when it's over, we then want to stop the clock, turn back time and re- live all those precious moments that once seemed meaningless. Our yearbook this year attempts to make the present students at St. Teresa's more conscious of the truly memorable moments we have shared in this year of 1977-78 in the school community as well as the Kansas City community and to capture the TIMES for the seniors to remember. These are moments of our youth which we need to appreciate NOW. Susan Singleton Editor 4
