White dresses — dark suits — a few speeches — clapping — diplomas — and it ' s all over. Three years of high school suddenly take off and drift away to become a thing of the past — three years of Weaver to be held only in memory, to be thought of only with fondest nostal¬ gia. . . . And what have we left behind us? That in its entirety would be impossible to include in the Portal. We could not hope to recapture every warm moment, every familiar happening. Yet we feel that in these pages we have made permanent a part of our Weaver. It may be only a very small part, but we hope that as you finger through these pages in the future, these few glimpses will but stimulate your memory and bring flowing back the countless other glimpses we could not portray. If every sketch we make recalls three to mind which we have omitted, then this book will be a success. And what of the future? The class of 1947 has passed through Weaver under unusual circumstances. When we were sophomores, our country was yet in the midst of war and the gold stars in the lobby were an ever-present reminder. As juniors we tasted peace and with it the bitterness of muddled confusion and seemingly endless discord which always follow war. As seniors we have seen the possible end of that discord in sight. We have cracked through our protective eggshell and a proposition lies before us. We can lapse back into the faults of the past and survive in a world of hate and intolerance. But that is against our fundamental nature, and the principles embodied in us scream out against it. Rather our natural course is to strain forward and grasp that ray of light which spells the end of discord and the beginning of harmony.

Let us resolve that on New Year ' s Eve, 1960, we will drink a toast to the class of 1947. We will remember our¬ selves as we were in 1947 and then look at ourselves as we are in 1960. Then we will scan the years which have passed in between. Let us make sure that we can view the interim with genuine, well warranted satis¬ faction. Recapture every warm moment” As we were in 1947
