Introduction: It was new: Glass shining, paint fresh. Lockers unscratched, desks unmarred, Bulletin boards awaiting their first thumb tack. This is how it was— William Tresper Clarke Junior-Senior High School —Just a building. Now' we look around and see Scratches, cracks in the walls. Metal showing through the paint. Names carved on desks and tables (Barbara loves Joey). This is how it is— Clarke! And when we meet an old classmate— Hey! Remember Soupy Sales Day— Remember the lost keys and the day World War III was supposed to begin? And what about the Cuban Crisis— And the day we heard the blast-off of Shepard on the P.A.? We won't remember the building— We'll think of the teachers and the classes . . . Remember when we acted out Macbeth in Mr. Steiner’s English Class? Mr. De Ciutiis' sinking Martian— And Mr. Leggett’s home movies and Richard Harding Davis? We'll remember how' we.were then— What we thought and how' we've changed— From badgered freshmen to glorious seniors.
