Waterford High School - Fordian Yearbook (Waterford, NY)

When we review the past century of Waterford High School, we are humbled by the remembrance of the many persons who have worked to improve it for the future stu- dents - who we now are. We are very proud of what our predecessors have accomplished, and we hope that the Class of Nineteen Hundred Fifty-eight will leave this school, hav- ing bettered it, so that those who follow us can look back and, in turn, be proud of our accomplishments. It is with our dedicated predecessors in mind that we present the 1958 Fordian, commemorating the 100th year of Academical education in Waterford. 1 The Editors

Decficaiion From the time the Class of 1958 entered high school as struggling fresh- men, to these last few moments of our high school careers, there has been one person who has unselfishly given of her time and energy to guide us through our growing up years on the path to adulthood. She has shared with us our joys and disappointments, our successes and failures. Her constant encouragement has induced each one of us to strive for higher goals, and in doing so, to be- come a better person morally, scho- lastically, and socially. Although she has taught us to be independent in our thoughts and actions, she has always been standing near to lend a helping hand when needed. She has given up much of her valuable time for the benefit of our class. It is with sincere appreciation and gratitude for her understanding, patience, loyalty, and devotion that we dedicate this 1958 Fordian to our true friend and advise . TKiss Jle en 7K. cJamor
