 he 1947 Fordian FAREWELL “Goodbye, dear friends! How we feared that this moment would come! Goodbye, dear friends, whom we have not loved enough, Yet loved too well. We met you with a smile, but leave you in bitter tears. Our ways have parted, the golden dream has ended.” —D’Amico. We, the Class of 1947, are about to go forth from the familiar surroundings of Waterford High School, into the world to find and to take our place. What the future may hold for us, as individuals, we know not, but no matter what it is, each of us will take it in his stride and make the most of it. I-or lour years we have studied within these walls, absorbing as much information as we could from the members of the faculty who have willingly- passed their knowledge on to us in order that someday it might help us to find our place in this world. Although our journey through high school has been long and hard and the temptation to swerve from the “beaten track” has often been great, we have come through on top, and we have enjoyed this journey- through high school. That we might have a reminder of our deeds, our joys, our struggles, and our successes, we have compiled this book, the 1947 Fordian. Within its pages we have presented the students of Waterford High School at work and at play. We have tried to recall some past events and to bring some of the highlights of our high school career before us again. We sincerely hope that the reading of this book will bring us as much pleasure as the compiling of it has given us. As we look through its pages in y-ears to come, we know it will refresh pleasant memories and bring to mind the Class of 1947. Dorothy Burgess, Editor-in-Chief.
