As a city's skyline grows with the passing years, so does the stature of young people in high school grow as the years pass. When a class enters school, the members' personalities and characters are just beginning to take form, like the foundations and low-lying structures of the skyline. ln a year or two, changes occur. Each year during high school there is growth. By the time the senior year draws to a close, there is a definite pattern visible. Some individuals seem like the great skyscrapers reaching toward the skyg others may not stand out so clearly as dominant peaks but all have taken definite form. They all fit into the picture and appear clearly as a part of the skyline against the horizon of the future. The height of each student's part of this skyline is deter- mined in large part by his own desires and his personal ambitions. All cannot build a structure of the same height, but each one can increase his dwelling place and make a worthwhile place for himself in the skyline. May the students of United Township High School resolve that they will build for themselves 'gmore stately mansions - as the swift seasons roll. When each youth in our com- munity strives to build as stately a mansion for his own soul as possible, we will have many 'ctall men, sun crowned, who live above the fogn in the skyscrapers of the building. Be a skyscraper in our Skyline. aff 7 -af It -5435 pg 1 - fn. 'lW,E,.fin, If M
