Thornapple Kellogg High School - Trojan Yearbook (Middleville, MI)

As the days pass and we draw closer to the year's end, we scan once again the calendar of that wonderful year— 1963. September brought the opening day of school and with it the knowledge that we were SENIORS—there was no one higher than we--we had only ourselves to look up to. As we flip the pages of Octo- ber and November, we recall the football games on crisp, clear nights and especially the homecoming game with Gloria as queen. November was also salesmen's month--cards and maga- zines. December recalls the sweat and frenzy of basketball, the glamor of the Christmas dance. January and February envision lots of snow vaca- tion and numberless cases of the sniffles and flu, but basketball zoomed into March with the challenge of the Regionals. As the days passed inexorably, we learned and had fun working on the TRUMPET and TROJAN. We experienced Govern- ment Day, Career Night, and Lansing day. The last day of April saw sixty-two Seniors off to our nation's capital. Reverend Bates' suggestion of three basic philosophies we may choose from and Mr. Guy VanderJagt's inspiring address are part of our memories of May,— graduation month. Graduation means that we are about to enter the adult world—never again can we go back to the hurly, burly of high school. That wonderful year is tinged with sadness now as it fades into a melange of memories. Never again will we pass from class to class, cheer our teams on to victory, have those wonderful gab-fests--we are Seniors only once!
