v • f» ' m 4 Shadows are not enough. They are the vague images of objects that once lived and breathed, laughed and cried, worked and played. Most numerous are the shadows of the past, those beloved scenes faded into forgotten memory. They lie dormant awaiting the spark to set them blazing with new brilliance. If this Lanthorn can make your memories of Susquehanna more vivid and more meaningful in years to come, then we, the Staff, have fulfilled our purpose. Only then will you realize that shadows are not enough.
