Paradox |seems somewhat paradoxical that for iny of us the end of the year simulta-|ouslv signifies a beginning. So much ic has been consumed during the year nting for the finish that we often forget lat the end meant. To Seniors, it is an [d to adolescence, an end to many »ndships, an end to life's simplicity. |d. for some, an end of education. [others, it is a beginning of new friendly. a beginning of a new way of life, a finning of higher education and a bc-|ning of greater independence. underclassmen another year has »cd. Some will be seniors: others will I juniors—a step closer to the end has l.n achieved. e staff members of this year have put 'any countless hours and numerous •ain stormings into the Chieftain. There ivrjre many days of staying after school, ard nights at home with layouts and copy to be completed for a deadline. The Chieftain staff would like to thank Mr. Massey, our sponsor, for his many diligent hours of work. Stan. Shelden. and Mr. Holt should also be congratulated for their patience and pictures from Bryn-Alan Studio. Van Carpenter from the Paragon Press is to be thanked for all he has done. But here at the end it would be impossible to credit everyone that has made the Chieftain possible and to express how much effort has been placed into this book. It is our hope that the Chieftain and all it contains may help you to recall the memories and regain the friendships of Terry Parker. i '72 Chieftain Staff Co-Editors: Candy Messer. Raymond Polo.

i And a woman who held a babe against her Bosom s id, Speak to us of Children. And he said: Your children arc not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you. And though they are with you yet They belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls. For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow. Which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrow's may go swift and far. Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness: For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He Loves also the bow that is stable. —Kahil Gibran, The Prophet 336 Epilogue
