Dear Forks: we've forgotten Sometimes—too many times to say “thank you.” Sometimes, proud that we passed a course or “cooled” a final or got special recognition, we just put it off, We'd like to do some atoning now. As you read our letters (when we wrote), heard our voices over the long distance wires or visited with us during vacations, you were aware of the importance and confidence we placed in our Idaho. For some of us, the letters and the telephone calls will come from somewhere else from now on; our years here are finished. For the rest of us, more days of note-taking and prom-planning are ahead. We know, folks, rhat none of this could have been attempted, let alone accomplished without your unfailing hope for us and your unceasing sacrifices. Certainly no school or student body would have thrived for seventy years without your help. This, then, is our “thank you,” so long post- poned and so very important. To you, our par- ents, with all reverence and humility, this vol- ume, the 1959 GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS, is dedicated. Your SONS AND DAUGHTERS
