We are strictly American. Our high school years, unlike those of our European counterparts, have meant personal growth instead of commitment, self discovery instead of choosing a career. We have been learning re¬ sponsibility, cooperation and broadening of scope. Now, however, we verge on the moment of testing ourselves. We are the hope and strength of a world at a time of crisis and change. How shall we react? On leaving high school we divert our attention away from ourselves and toward our society. We must not only cope with this transition but profit from it. Though we have been waiting for this moment, though we are exhilarated and impatient, yet are we unsure. Let us take full inventory of our years here. We must look to the soil, the climate, the gardeners of our growth, that we may know ourselves that much better. Let us keep this book as a reminder of the luxury of being allowed to develop carefully and well, with time to become capable and ready for life. This Yearbook is a mirror of that final season of per¬ sonal growing which is our senior year. Here, together never again, we became what we now are and glimpsed that which we shall be.
