MEMORIES OF HIGH SCHOOL DAYS Trying to record the most meaningful memories of one's high school days becomes increasingly difficult as the years pass by and other pleasant memories crowd in upon the mind. However, these things I do remem- ber clearly: My first day in high school; the genuine affection which I had for all of my teachers, even though I liked some better than others; ploying in my first football game; my first attempt to write poetry and the teacher who encouraged me to try; the senior play and the senior banquet; and graduation night. I can also remember most of my classmates, and occasionally I look at my class picture to renew old acquaintances. However, there is one classmate whom I remember above all others. She is my wife. WM. J. KRUM, JR. MISS MARY L. PITKIN Principal New York State Teachers College at Albany, A.B. Columbia University MEMORIES Memories are based upon our life experi- ences. Many of these experiences seem pleas- anter as time goes on. However, time cannot erase all unpleasant memories. So it is with our high school memories— some will be pleasant, others not so pleasant. We should strive as we go through high school to do those things which will leave pleasant memories—to make lasting and worth-while friendships, to try to get the most out of our school work, to build a good character and a healthy body. Thus we will have pleasanter memories and less regrets. DEWITT S. WOODARD DR. WILLIAM J. KRUM, JR. Superintendent of Schools Hamilton College, A.B. Columbia University, M.A. Columbia University, Ed.D. MEMORIES In September 1951, some four hundred bright-eyed teenagers came to U. E. Much was the bustling, the laughter with making new friends and the dismay with lost schedule cards and with rooms that seemed to have changed location overnight. The following year, this same group became more independent in the use of study time, more active in participation of sports, music and student government. As the senior year started, designs for the future began to take more definite shape. Some were making plans for continued school- ing, some were preparing for industry, some had thoughts of homemaking, and others had in mind, service for their country. Now that you, the members of the class of 1954, join the ranks of the alumni of U. E. H. S., may your treasure chest contain the roots, the ideals, the tools, and the knowledge from your three years at U. E. that will aid you in being a true member of society. MARY L. PITKIN MR.
