OUR STA We, the Class of '83. hereby dedicate the 1983 REFLECTOR yearbook to our star. Nlr. Frank Smith. Yet I had rather if I were to choose, Thy service in some graver subject use. Such as may make thee search thy coffers round, Before thou clothe my fancy in fit sound: Such where the deep transported mind may soar Above the wheeling poles. and at Heav'ns door Look in. and see each blissful Deity , How he before the thunderous throne doth lie. Listening to what unshorn Apollo sings E5--c ix To th' touch of golden wires, while Hebe brings Immortal Nectar to her Kingly Sire: .

Reach for the Stars The yearbook theme for 1983 Reach fo th S 'I , r e tars represents the spirit of America throughout its history. Few phrases represent this spirit better. Go for it You can do it are co h ' , , mmon p rases in our vocabulary and they mean much the same thing.

Each speaks to the spirit in man and woman to fulfill hopes and to make dreams realities. The Class of 1983 . isis a c ass which sets its hopes and aspirations on the very highest goals.

Let us also look around at the many miracles in our lives and find pleasure in them and an appreciation of this wonder-filled world in which we live. In Thornton Wilder's play 0ur Town Emily came back from the grave for one more look at the town and the people she had known.

May tell at length how green-ey'd Neptune raves. In Heav'ns defeance mustering all his waves: Then sing of secret things that came to pass When Beldam Nature in her cradle was: And last of Kings and Queens and Heroes old. Such as the wise Demodocus once told In solemn Songs of King Alcinous' feast, While sad Ulysses' soul and all the rest Are held with his melodious harmony. As long as the stars graze in the vault of heaven s . tO honor. your name. your praises endure.
