% The old Center School . . . Thomaston's first Foreword Yesterday shapes tomorrow as it becomes the history of today. I can always remember idolizing the seniors and wondering if my class numerals ever would become a reality. Time flows all too quickly. For as I reminisce, it seems so far behind me when I kept store for Mrs. Hayes in second grade, and five years later, a dim five years ago, when I shined up a new pencil box to tote in seventh grade. Rather like polishing up an old car to press away the wrinkles of age, worth is unimaginable until it can be stripped of outer fancy. Leafing through an old yearbook, I recall the events of the past, and I realize that the insignificant events of this year will be something to look back upon in the future. Among my fond memories is a certain study hall where I loved to waste time pestering the teacher, but secretly felt proud to be a member of her class. Now a senior stalwart, I still secretly feel proud to be a member of her class, but especially to be a part of this school. It is with this special feeling of pride that I present the 1961 OWL as the fortieth volume of the history of Thomaston High School. 2 Editor in Chief
